Thackeray's Grave Restored at Kensal Green
Thackeray's tomb in Kensal Green Cemetery was recently scrutinized for ivy overgrowth and a faded inscription. Authorities trimmed the encircling ivy and restored a plain inscription noting William Makepeace Thackeray born July 14 1811 died December 14 1863 and Anne Cerwichael Smyth died December 18 1864 aged 72, his mother by her first marriage. John Leech's nearby epitaph remains simple yet evocative of his sharp caricature.
