"A most awful tragedy"; Medi Oliver Mehra (2003-2014) Kensal Green Cemetery
A huge Corinthian colonnade in Kensal Green caught my eye. In this post I trace the Medi Garden memorial for Medi Oliver Mehra, the life sized statue and its 350 tonnes of granite, and the tragic 2014 horse riding accident. I also unpack Kensal Green Cemetery grave costs, memorial design, Sino Sculpture and the inquest calling it 'a most awful tragedy.'
