Tomb of Maria Proom, Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove SE15 - Southwark
Visually prominent monument of 1872 in pink and grey granite and Carrara marble. Inspired by Catholic monuments from the continent, the structure presents a praying figure carried on a tall column and plinth, and an angel statue at its base which was perhaps originally unrelated to the monument. The railings around it are missing. A condition survey has been produced which indicates that there are no major concerns at present but monitoring needs to be undertaken to check for any movement owing to nearby ground conditions.
