Tomb of Henry Pettit, Brompton Cemetery

The Tomb of Henry Pettit, located in Brompton Cemetery, is a Grade II listed structure made of pink and grey granite, featuring a marble plaque and bronze railings. It consists of a pink granite broken column adorned with spiralling laurel leaf decoration on the shaft, which stands on a square grey granite pedestal. The pedestal is topped with a deep moulded cap that has shaped pediments displaying the monogram HP, surrounded by laurel leaves. It also features pink granite engaged colonnettes that support four-centred arches.

Within the arched niche on the front face of the pedestal is a marble plaque that bears a relief bust of Henry Pettitt, depicted in a pensive attitude. Below the bust is an inscription that reads: "IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ HENRY PETTITT/ WHO DIED DECEMBER 24th 1893/ GREATLY MISSED AND DEEPLY MOURNED/ BY HIS WIDOW AND FAMILY/ AGED 45 YEARS." Other family members are commemorated in inscriptions located in the three additional niches, including his mother, Lucy, née Hart (1825-1897), his wife Annette (1847-1916), and his daughter Lillian Mary Lucy (1879-1918).

At the base of the pedestal, the name Pettitt is carved in block letters in relief within an incised panel. The entire pedestal is surrounded by a pink granite kerb that extends around the grave plot, which is marked by six pyramid-capped marble posts connected by bronze cabled railings, some of which are missing.
