71/0/10025 Tomb of Dr Gottlieb William Leitner (1 23-JUL-04 840-1899), Brookwood Cemetery

GV II Memorial to Dr Gottlieb William Leitner (1840-1899). Carrara bust within a pink granite surround. Mason unknown. Leitner's bewhiskered bust is set within a curved niche: around it, in raised letters, is the inscription THE LEARNED ARE HONOURED IN THEIR WORK. HISTORY: Leitner, born in Budapest, was a modern linguist specialising in oriental languages. Sometine professor at King's College London, he founded numerous establishments of learning in the Indian sub-continent, including Lahore University. He founded the Oriental Institute at Woking as a place of learning these languages for colonial administrators: as a result, Britain's first mosque was opened in Woking. Listed for its sculptural exuberance and as an interesting reflection of late imperial cosmopolitanism.
