Tomb of Gerard De Visme 10 Feet to north of west tower of Chapel in Churchyard of St Mary, St Mary's Road, Wimbledon SW19 - Merton

Stone tomb of Gerard de Visme, who died in 1797, consisting of a square plan, rusticated pyramid with corner acroteria to the base. An acroterion has fallen due to movement in the stone blocks, and another is dislodged. Slow deterioration continues. A condition survey has been carried out, funded by Historic England. Charity Habitats & Heritage and the church are exploring possibilities for developing a project and seeking funding to enable the necessary works to be carried out.
