Description

The Tomb of Mrs. Anne Farrow, located in West Norwood Memorial Park, is a monumental shelter dating from around 1854, with the designer unknown. It is constructed from cast and wrought iron and features a rectangular low stone plinth that supports a five-bay shelter. The shelter is adorned with quatrefoil panels and is topped with openwork arcading, which includes barley sugar columns. These columns form a screen of cusped arcading, a pattern that is inverted and fills the gable ends of a crested sheet iron pitched roof. The roof is currently in a state of some decay. This tomb is a rare example of a cast and wrought iron monument.
