Description

The Tomb of James Combe is a mausoleum located in Kensal Green Cemetery, built in 1852 by A. MacDonald of Aberdeen. It is constructed from pink Peterhead and grey granite, standing on a two-stage base. The east side features a cell with a framed door and a lozenge containing the IHS emblem. The structure includes angle-set corner buttresses topped with acroterion finials, and a cross-surmounted eared sarcophagus sits atop the mausoleum. This tomb is an early and flamboyant example of machine-polished Scottish granite and was erected in memory of Combe's wife.
