Ram Mohan Roy was originally buried on 18 October 1833, in the grounds of Stapleton Grove, where he had lived as an ambassador of the Mughal Empire and died of [[meningitis]] on 27 September 1833.<ref name="HE">{{Cite web|author=|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/educational-images/beech-house-stapleton-grove-bell-hill-5665|title=Beech House, Stapleton Grove, Bell Hill, Bristol|publisher=Historic England}}</ref> Nine years later he was reburied on 29 May 1843 in a grave at the new [[Arnos Vale Cemetery]], in Brislington, East Bristol. A large plot on The Ceremonial Way there had been bought by William Carr and William Prinsep, and the body in its lac and a lead coffin was placed later in a deep brick-built vault, over seven feet underground. Two years after this, [[Dwarkanath Tagore]] helped pay for the [[chhatri]] raised above this vault, although there is no record of him ever visiting Bristol. The chhatri was designed by the artist William Prinsep, who had known Ram Mohan in [[Calcutta]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Caudhurī |first=Indranātha |title=Indian renaissance & Rabindranath Tagore |date=2019 |publisher=Vani Book Company |isbn=978-93-89012-58-3 |edition=1st |location=New Delhi, India |publication-date=2019 |pages=61}}</ref>{{Citation needed|date = December 2018}}
