Grave monument to James Gall

The grave monument to James Gall, erected in 1889 through public subscription, is located within Barrow Cemetery. This monument is designed in the shape of a lighthouse and stands 10 feet tall on a rusticated square base and plinth.

The lighthouse features a concave base with a recessed entrance, accessed by a series of 15 stone steps. The entrance includes a carved door with strap hinges and a circular knocker. The tall, tapering tower is detailed to resemble ashlar stone and has carved-out windows on most sides, which illuminate the spiral staircase inside. It culminates in a projecting circular gallery, topped by the light room and a domed roof for the lamp. While slimmer than typical lighthouses, it accurately represents one.

The front face of the plinth is inscribed with the following text:

"ERECTED/ BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION IN MEMORY OF/JAMES GALL/ONE OF THE CREW OF THE 'FORFARSHIRE'/[DIED DEC. 25TH 1888]/AND TO COMMEMORATE THE HEROISM OF GRACE DARLING/IN RESCUING 9 MEN FROM THE WRECK OF THAT UNFORTUNATE/VESSEL. A.D. 1838."
