Description
The Abbey Cemetery Williams Tomb is a Grade II* listed monument dedicated to Jane Weeks Williams, who died in 1848. This Neoclassical aedicular monument features a marble upper canopied section supported by pairs of colonnettes with lotus leaf capitals. Inside, there is a marble group consisting of an urn flanked by an angel and a mourner. The pedestal is made of Pennant stone and has vermiculated quoins, with the plinth also being vermiculated.
This tomb is one of the largest and most prominent in the cemetery, significantly contributing to the main northward view from the chapel. It is noted for its grandeur, despite being described as "this monument and frail memorial." Jane Williams resided at 6 Claremont Place, Walcot, and her inscription reflects on her sudden death after a brief illness. Her son Henry, who died in 1853, is also commemorated; he tragically drowned after falling off the West India Docks in a dense London fog. The tomb is located in the southern section of Section III.
