Memorial Cross at Maddingley Cemetery Elevates Grounds
The memorial to the late Mr and Mrs Thomas Cain rises over 14 feet in Russian Finland red granite, with a Harcourt granite base, blue stone surround, and white marble slabs. Due to ore shortages the Finland red granite is scarce, prompting Victoria masons to rely on local granites for such monuments. The Cain memorial, designed by Jugeurs & Son, enhances Maddingley Cemetery and may spur others to beautify resting places of pioneers.
