Description: Photograph Notes: Headstone for Sir George Everest and two of his daughters. "In memory of my dearly loved husband George Everest. Died Dec. 1st. 1866, aged 76 years, and of our dear children, Emma Colebrooke, died February 10th. 1852, aged 2 years 10 months, and Benigna Edith, died January 21st. 1860, aged 4 months. Gone but not forgotten." Sir George Everest was born in Gwernwade, near Brecon in Wales, and was educated at various military schools in England. In 1806, he joined the East India Company, and served for the next seven years in Bengal. From 1814 to 1816, he worked on the survey of Java, then returned to India where, until 1841, he worked, with two breaks to recover his health, on the mapping of the sub-continent, rising to the rank of Chief Surveyor. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Societry in 1827, and was knighted in 1861. In 1865, Peak XV of the Himalayas was re-named Mount Everest in his honour. The grave to his left bears the inscription : "In beloved memory of Lucetta Mary Everest. Died January 10th. 1857, aged 69 years." This is the headstone of his sister. A peculiarity is that Sir George never lived in Brighton nor in Hove, and is not known to have had any connection with them.
