This monument to William Bedford (1781-1852) is situated in St David’s Park (previously a cemetery), Hobart. Bedford was arrived in Hobart in 1823 and became the senior chaplain of St David’s Church, the main Church of England church in the colony. The cenotaph was raised by public subscription in 1853 and placed over his remains. It is in the Gothic style and features delicate pointed arches and the elaborate stonework often associated with ecclesiastical architecture.
