st.pancras old church, camden, london
the monument of 1815 by john soane to his wife elizabeth stands over his family vault where she lies with him and his estranged son. note the snake orouborus biting his own tail on the drum above the canopy, below the pinecone finial. the shape of this tomb was used by giles scott in his design for the telephone kiosk, and ultimately also for the police box used by dr.who.
