East Sheen Cemetery.
- II
Stele memorial to Markham Buxton (d.1927) by his son Alfred
Buxton. Tall granite stele with 5 antefixae to top, on wider
granite plinth with inscription on base. It bears a bronze relief
of a woman in classical dress playing a lyre with inscription
"OUR SWEETEST SONGS ARE THOSE WHICH TELL OF SADDEST THOUGHTS".
The bronze is signed by Alfred Buxton, a local sculptor who
showed at the Royal Academy Between 1910 and 1929. In 1927 he
showed a relief called "Chanson Triste" which is probably this
work.
