In memory of George Gilbert Scott, M.A., F.S.A., Sometime fellow offesus College, Cambridge, who was bom October 8th 1839 and died May 6th 1897. On whose soul Jesus have mercy. So runs the inscription on the tomb in Hampstead Churchyard where, following his mental breakdown and the scandalous activities which alienated both his family and professional colleagues, Sir Gilbert Scott’s eldest son was eventually laid to rest.
