SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF ARNOLD SAVAGE LANDOR ESQ./ BORN 5TH OF MARCH 1818/ DIED 2nd OF APRIL 1871// M. AUTERI POMAR 1873// M. AUTERI POMAR 1873

The figure on the tomb is Mrs Walter Savage Landor, Julia ThuilIier Savage Landor, mourning the death of her son Arnold Savage Landor whom she did not permit her husband to see while he was growing up. At the end she threw her husband out of the Villa Gherardesca in San Domenico, Fiesole, that he had given them, leaving him homeless in the streets of Florence until the Brownings took care of him, lodging him with their former maid, Lily Wilson, in Via della Chiesa. Not a happy marriage. Walter had been much in love with an earl's daughter, Rose Aymler, writing exquisite quatrains to her. She died of fever in India and is buried there with his verse on her tomb. Then he met Julia Thuillier, the pretty daughter of a bankrupt Swiss banker, at a dance in Bath and married her. Their son Arnold is described by a family member as being paralyzed with mad eyes, sounding very much like a syphilis patient. In less unhappy days she had her portrait with her children Arnold and Julia painted by Trajan Wallis, the son of A64/ GEORGE AUGUSTUS WALLIS, who is buried in Sector A. She spends a fortune on the son's tomb, nothing for her husband's. Walter Savage Landor's is at A29, this one for their son as far from him as she can get, with her back turned to it.
