Monument to the famous Victorian bare-knuckle boxer, Thomas Sayers (1826-1865). This Grade II listed marble structure is considered "one of the jewels of London's best-known necropolis" (Sweet). It has a pedimented tomb-chest with ornamental edges to the corners of the sloping "roof" and a pedimental relief depicting a beribboned wreath. Below that is a portrait medallion of Sayers.
