Andrew Ducrow

Ducrow is buried on the Main (or Centre) Avenue at Kensal Green Cemetery in London, England near the tomb of the Duke of Sussex, one of the most desirable burial plots of the time.

The decoration is primarily pagan, being drawn from Greek and Egyptian sources.

Pablo Fanque, the black circus equestrian and later circus owner, best known from his mention in The Beatles song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" on the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, worked in Ducrow's circus for some time.
