Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837) was a great actor of his time; according to a plaque by his grave, 'he was adored by all and could fill a theatre anywhere'. It goes on to describe him as a 'great artist and a great man.' The grave is located in a corner of Joseph Grimaldi Park, just north of Pentonville Road, close to where he lived all his life.
