788/11/10113 Tomb of Samuel Weddell
GV II
Funerary monument commemorating Samuel Weddell, died 1845. Portland stone. Tapering rectangular sarcophagus with acroteria and shallow pedimented cover. East end with a bronze inscription panel: 'Extract from the Will of Samuel Weddell Esq. In order that the said vault and tomb may be constantly kept in repair I leave to the company called the City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery the sum of one hundred pounds free from legacy duty as a fund for this purpose and I particularly request that the directors for the time being will invest this sum in any way that they may think proper and apply the same and the interest of dividend thereof in providing for the expense occasioned by such repairs'. Such inscriptions are highly unusual and shed interesting light on the maintenance provisions for tomb upkeep which were made by far-sighted clients.
