Commemoration
Ralph Allen is buried in a pyramid-topped tomb in Claverton churchyard, on the outskirts of Bath.
His name is commemorated in Bath in Ralph Allen Drive and Ralph Allen School, one of the city's secondary schools. Prior Park College, another local secondary school which is housed in Allen's former home, has a boys' boarding house named Allen House.
Henry Fielding used Allen as the model for Squire Allworthy in the novel Tom Jones.
