William Lyon M.D. President of Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) from 1860-62 and, Surgeon and Lecturer to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary died in 1874 aged 75 years.
As a result of the photographic and condition survey of compartment Sigma, it was identified that William Lyon’s headstone was in a difficult condition, including defragmentation of the stone, and in need of re-assembling.
Further to The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis engagement with the RCPSG, we have received a generous donation for the maintenance and repair of the William Lyon’s memorial.
It is anticipated that this work will commence in Summer 2025.
