About the memorial: An addition to a memorial on a family grave. The white marble double headstone has twin pointed arches supported by a pilaster at each side and an attached column at the centre. Each arch contains a carved spray of foliage and flowers spilling over a moulded lintol onto the panel below. At the foot is a plain frieze. Each of the two plain panels contains the inlaid inscriptions in upright capital lettering. The headstone is attached to an oblong white marble base with a bevelled top, but has been laid, or has fallen, on its back on the surface of the grave. Underneath the headstone, the surface of the grave has been significantly disturbed, probably by plant roots, and the plain oblong kerbs have been displaced. The whole surface of the memorial has been further disfigured by plant growth and a liberal distribution of leafmould accumulated from decomposed foliage from nearby trees. It is towards the western end of the cemetery.
