Tomb for Walter Holland, Astwood cemetery Worcester, 1888

" Saturday 22.12.1888 p4 Worcestershire Chronicle

MONUMENTAL ART. – A handsome monument has just been placed over the family vault in Claines churchyard, to the memory of the late Mr. James Dyson Perrins. It is in the form of an altar tomb, with a large handsome cross on the top, worked out of the solid block. The sides and ends are divided into tracery panels to receive inscriptions. The body of the tomb, which is of the best Sicilian marble, rests on a solid base of polished red granite. The landing also, which is very large, is in one solid piece, upon which is fixed an elaborately wrought iron railing. The whole of this work has been carefully carried out by Mr. W. Forsyth, of the Tything; who has also another monument in hand, which will be placed in Worcester Cemetery to the memory of the late Mr. Walter Holland.
"

Walter Holland had been an employee of the Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway prior to that railway being taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1863. He then formed a partnership with Thomas Clunes (who owned the Vulcan Ironworks in Worcester) and John McKenzie to form McKenzie, Clunes & Holland (later McKenzie & Holland). McKenzie & Holland expanded to become the foremost manufacturer of signalling equipment in the UK. Walter Holland became a J.P. for the City and County and was Mayor of Worcester from 1878 until 1881 and again in 1887.

A portrait of Walter Holland (by Haynes Williams) can be found in the Lower Hall on the ground floor of the Guildhall at Worcester
