Condition
History
19 March 2014: Although the components were in good condition, and the inscriptions legible, the conjoined headstone and base had been laid face up on the surface of the grave, presumably because they had become unsafe. The cemetery is entered on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. Parks and Gardens UK reference 2450.
