Summary

Description

The gravestones and grave of artist Bernard Walter Evans (1843–1922) and his wife Mary Ann Eliza Evans (d.1902), in Harlow Hill Cemetery, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.

This unusual arrangement of gravestones was designed by Evans when his wife was buried. The two standing stones are more than 6 feet high, and once had a metal pole fitted between them. Strung from the pole was a metal anchor, with an arrow piercing it. The anchor represented the idea that Mary was an anchor in his life, and the arrow meant that she had been struck down. The grave has a low stone border which encloses the space for husband and wife. As of 2021, the shield with the inscription for Mary was smashed into the ground, and barely showing. Partially visible was part of the original inscription: "Pray for her soul", "Mary" and "Ann." On the gravestone nearest the church is the inscription for Bernard Evans: "Bernard Walter Evans RI, born December 1843, died February 1922. In God my trust." The quotation "In God my trust" is from the hymn What though the fig tree blossom not.
