Monument to John Willes, Dulwich Old
Burial Ground
GV II
Stone tomb chest. Dated 1818. Brick plinth; stone base treated
as vermiculated band; stylobate of 3 steps. Soanean in
character, with Roman sepulchral motifs used in a highly
idiosyncratic manner. Returns resemble a Roman stele, with a
scallop shell inserted in a segmental pediment, a motif
repeated on the long sides. Tapering corner pilasters have
honeysuckle shoulders and inverted torches in low relief
carving. Marked G on plan, located along south verge just
north of Graham tomb.
The burial ground, which was consecrated in 1616, was unusual
in not being adjacent to any church or chapel.
The monuments form a group with the C18 gates, walls and
railings to Dulwich Old Burial Ground (qv).
