Churchyard
(Formerly Listed as:
CHURCH ROW
Grave of John Constable (St John's
Churchyard))
GV II*
Chest tomb above brick vault. Dating from the death of
Constable's wife in 1828, restored 1976. Marble. Rectangular
plan on stepped base. Clasping pilasters with incised
enrichment. Inscribed on north, east and west sides to the
memory of John Constable, painter, his wife Maria Elizabeth
and 7 children. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached cast-iron
railings with urn finials surrounding the tomb.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Constable took summer lodgings in Hampstead
for his family from 1819 and from 1827 a permanent residence
until his death in 1837. The high grade is a reflection of the
importance of Constable to English painting, and the
significance of Hampstead and its heath in his work.
