Southern Cemetery #9: George Freemantle

'IN LOVING MEMORY OF
GEORGE FREEMANTLE,
who died May 21st. 1864 aged 61 years.'
 
 
'This memorial was erected by his
friends of the Brasenose Club.'

George Freemantle (1833–64) was an influential music critic on the Manchester Guardian from 1867 to 1894, and was particularly noted for his enthusiastic support of Charles Hallé's aim to bring the best orchestral music to Manchester.
