Framed Print of Robbery of the tomb of the Late Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Robbery of the tomb of the Late Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, 1881. 1. Dunecht House, near Aberdeen. 2. The Chapel. 3. Entrance to the Vault. 4. The Vault, with the Shelf on which the Coffin lay (marked with a cross)...a shocking crime...It can only be supposed that this infamous deed was perpetrated for the purpose of exacting a large sum of money by way of ransom. The body of the deceased nobleman, which was embalmed...was inclosed in three coffins...The late Earl's body was the first to be placed in the [new family] vault, which is constructed to contain twenty-five coffins. Entrance to the vault is obtained by means of a small flight of stairs descending from the level of the ground outside the principal chapel...The Gothic roof of this crypt is groined, its ribs converging to a central supporting pillar, with an ornamented capital. The open middle space of the apartment measures about 14 ft. in width, besides the depth, over 6 ft. on each side, of the recesses, with shelves, to the right and to the left, in which the coffins were to be placed...The stone slab which had closed the entrance to the steps from outside the chapel was also lifted, and was propped up with a piece of wood'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
