'''Kensal Green Cemetery''' is a [[rural cemetery|cemetery]] in the [[Kensal Green]] area of [[North Kensington, London|North Kensington]] in the [[Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea]] in London, England. Inspired by [[Père Lachaise Cemetery]] in Paris, it was founded by the barrister [[George Frederick Carden]].<ref name=Kensal>[http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/documents/KG_history.html The Founding of Kensal Green Cemetery] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120613164623/http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/documents/KG_history.html |date=13 June 2012 )), Kensalgreen.co.uk, accessed 7 February 2014</ref> The cemetery opened in 1833 and comprises ((Cvt|72|acre)) of grounds, including two conservation areas, adjoining a canal. The cemetery is home to at least 33 species of bird and other wildlife. This distinctive cemetery has memorials ranging from large [[mausoleum]]s housing the rich and famous to many distinctive smaller graves and includes special areas dedicated to the very young. It has three chapels and serves all faiths.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.kensalgreencemetery.com/|title=Kensal Green Cemetery – and West London Crematorium|website=kensalgreencemetery.com))</ref> It is one of the [[Magnificent Seven cemeteries]] in London.

The cemetery was immortalised in the lines of [[G. K. Chesterton]]'s poem "[[The Rolling English Road]]" from his book ''[[The Flying Inn]]'':<ref>((cite book |last=Chesterton |first=Gilbert Keith |author-link=G. K. Chesterton |year=1914 |title=[[The Flying Inn]] |chapter=The Rolling English Road |chapter-url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Rolling_English_Road  ))</ref>
((poemquote|For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen;
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.))

Despite its Grecian-style buildings, the cemetery is primarily Gothic in character, due to the high number of private Gothic monuments. Due to this atmosphere, the cemetery was the chosen location of several scenes in movies, notably in ''[[Theatre of Blood]]''.((cn|date=July 2023))

The cemetery is listed Grade I on the [[Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England|Register of Historic Parks and Gardens]].<ref name="NHLE">((NHLE|num=1000817|desc=Kensal Green (All Souls) Cemetery|access-date=13 November 2017))</ref> It remains in use.

==Location==
The cemetery is in London's [[Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea]]. Its main entrance is on [[Harrow Road]] (west of where Ladbroke Grove and Chamberlayne Road meet). Its other entrance, Alma Place (the West Gate, almost opposite Greyhound Road) is also on the north side. Alma Place leads to the West London Crematorium (whose owner and operator is the same) and [[St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery]], which are in the London Borough of [[Hammersmith and Fulham]]. The cemetery lies between Harrow Road and the [[Paddington Arm]] of the [[Grand Union Canal]] to the south which has long been separated by a wall.

A set of defunct gates is set in the southern wall which adjoins the canal where barges took a proportion of earth from excavating graves and occasionally coffins carried by barge were unloaded.

==History and description==

===Establishment and design===
George Frederick Carden had failed with an earlier attempt to establish a British equivalent to [[Paris]]'s [[Père Lachaise Cemetery]] in 1825, but a new committee established in February 1830,<ref name=survey/> including [[Andrew Spottiswoode]], MP for [[Saltash (UK Parliament constituency)|Saltash]], sculptor [[Robert William Sievier]], banker Sir [[Paul baronets|John Dean Paul]],<ref name=Kensal/> Charles Broughton Bowman (first committee secretary),<ref name=founders>[http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/documents/KG_monuments_top.html Kensal Green Founders] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150605205710/http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/documents/KG_monuments_top.html |date=5 June 2015 )), Kensalgreen.co.uk, accessed 10 February 2014</ref> and architects [[Thomas Willson (architect)|Thomas Willson]] (who had previously proposed an ambitious [[Metropolitan Sepulchre]] project) and [[Augustus Charles Pugin]],<ref name=Arnold>((cite book|last=Arnold|first=Catharine|title=Necropolis: London and its dead|date=2006|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=London|isbn=978-1416502487))</ref> gained more financial, political and public support to fund the "General Cemetery Company". Public meetings were held in June and July 1830 at the Freemasons' Tavern, and George Carden was elected treasurer.<ref name=survey/>

Paul, a partner in the London banking firm of Strahan, Paul, Paul and Bates, found and conditionally purchased the ((convert|54|acres)) of land at [[Kensal Green]] for £9,500. However, Paul and Carden were already embroiled in a dispute regarding the design of the cemetery, where Paul favoured the Grecian style and Carden the Gothic style. A succession of architects were contemplated, including [[Benjamin Dean Wyatt|Benjamin Wyatt]] (who declined), [[Charles Fowler]] (proposal not taken up), [[Francis Goodwin (architect)|Francis Goodwin]], Willson, and a Mr Lidell, a pupil of [[John Nash (architect)|John Nash]], before an architectural competition was launched in November 1831. This attracted 46 entrants, and in March 1832 the premium was awarded, despite some opposition, for a Gothic Revival design by Henry Edward Kendall;<ref name=Arnold/> this decision was, however, eventually overturned.

On 11 July 1832, the Act of Parliament establishing a "General Cemetery Company for the interment of the Dead in the Neighbourhood of the Metropolis" gained Royal Assent. The Act authorised it to raise up to £45,000 in shares, buy up to 80 acres of land and build a cemetery and a Church of England chapel. Company directors appointed after the Bill received Royal Assent asserted their control and preference for a different style. One of the competition judges and a company shareholder, John Griffith of Finbury, who had previously produced working drawings for a boundary wall,<ref>((cite book |last1=Curl |first1=James Stevens |title=A Celebration of Death |date=1980 |publisher=Constable |isbn=0094630003 |page=218))</ref><ref>''The Builder, Obituary of John Griffith'' 1888, volume 55, page 345</ref> ultimately designed the cemetery's two chapels and the main gateway<ref name=survey>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=49882 "Kensal Green"], Survey of London: volume 37: Northern Kensington (1973), pp. 333–339. Accessed 10 February 2014.</ref> and 15,000 trees were supplied and planted by [[Hugh Ronalds]] from his nursery in [[Brentford]].<ref>((Cite journal|last=Ronalds|first=B.F.|date=2017|title=Ronalds Nurserymen in Brentford and Beyond|journal=Garden History|volume=45|pages=82–100))</ref> Founded as the '''General Cemetery of All Souls, Kensal Green''', the cemetery was the first of the "[[Magnificent Seven, London|Magnificent Seven]]" [[Rural cemeteries|garden-style cemeteries]] in London. It was consecrated on 24 January 1833 by [[Charles James Blomfield]], the Bishop of London, receiving its first funeral the same month.

In the early 1850s, after a series of [[cholera]] epidemics in London caused an examination of London's burial facilities, health commissioner [[Edwin Chadwick]] proposed the closure of all existing burial grounds in the vicinity of London other than the privately owned Kensal Green Cemetery, north-west of the city, which was to be [[nationalisation|nationalised]] and greatly enlarged to provide a single burial ground for west London. (A large tract of land on the [[Thames]] around ((convert|9|mi)) south-east of London in [[Abbey Wood]] was to become a single burial ground for east London.<ref>((cite book|last=Clarke|first=John M.|title=The Brookwood Necropolis Railway, Locomotive Press '''143'''|year=2006|publisher=The Orchard Press|page=9|isbn=978-0853616559|edition=4th))</ref>) The Treasury was sceptical that Chadwick's scheme would ever be financially viable, and it was widely unpopular.<ref>((cite book|last=Arnold|first=Catherine|title=Necropolis:London and its dead|year=2006|publisher=Simon & Schuster|page=160|isbn=978-1416502487))</ref><ref name=clarke2>((cite book|title=The Brookwood Necropolis Railway|page=11))</ref> Although the [[Metropolitan Interments Act 1850]] authorised the scheme, it was abandoned in 1852.<ref name=clarke2/><ref>((cite book |last1=Glen|first1=William Cunningham |title=Metropolitan Interments Act, 1850, with introduction, notes, and appendix |date=1850 |publisher=Shaw and Sons |location=London |url=https://archive.org/details/metropolitanint00glengoog |quote=Metropolitan Interments Act: 1850.|oclc=19522913 ))</ref>

[[File:A typical statuary detail, Kensal Green Cemetery.JPG|thumb|upright|left|A typical statuary detail]]

===Layout===
((More citations needed section|date=May 2020))
The overall layout is on an east–west axis, with a central path leading to a raised chapel towards the west. The entrance is to the north-east and the largest monuments line the central path to the chapel.

The [[Church of England]] was allotted 39 acres and the remaining 15, clearly separated, acres were given over to [[English Dissenters|Dissenters]],<ref>((Cite web|url=https://ougs.org/london/event-reports/465/field-trip-the-geology-of-kensal-green-cemetery/|title=Field Trip: The Geology of Kensal Green Cemetery|website=Ougs.org))</ref> a distinction deemed crucial at the time. Originally there was a division between the Dissenters' part of the cemetery and the [[Anglican]] section. This took the form of a "sunk fence" from the canal to the gate piers on the path. There were also decorative iron gates. The small area designated for non-Anglican burials is approximately oval in shape and was formerly made prominent by a wider central axis path that terminated with the neo-classical chapel with curved [[colonnade]]s. The Anglican Chapel dominates the western section of the cemetery, being raised on a terrace beneath that is an extensive [[catacomb]]; there is a hydraulic [[catafalque]] for lowering coffins into the catacomb.<ref>[http://www.kensalgreencemetery.com/cemetery/index4.html "Dissenters' Chapel"], Kensal Green Cemetery.</ref>

It is still in operation today; burials and cremations take place daily, although cremations are now more common than interments. The cemetery is still run by the General Cemetery Company under its original [[Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom|Act of Parliament]]. This mandates that bodies there may not be exhumed and cremated or the land sold for development. Once the cemetery has exhausted all its interment space and can no longer function as a cemetery, the mandate requires that it shall remain a memorial park. The General Cemetery Company constructed and runs the West London Crematorium within the grounds of the cemetery.

While borrowing from the ideals established at Père Lachaise some years before,<ref name="auto">((Cite web|url=https://heritage.humanists.uk/kensal-green-cemetery/|title = Humanist Heritage: Kensal Green Cemetery|website=Heritage.humanists.uk))</ref> Kensal Green Cemetery contributed to the design and management basis for many cemetery projects throughout the British Empire of the time. In Australia, for example, the [[Rookwood Cemetery|Necropolis]] at Rookwood (1868) and [[Waverley Cemetery]] (1877), both in [[Sydney]], are noted for their use of the "gardenesque" landscape qualities and importantly self-sustaining management structures championed by the General Cemetery Company.

The cemetery is the burial site of approximately 250,000 individuals in over 65,000 graves,<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.kensalgreencemetery.com/cemetery/|title=Cemetery – Kensal Green Cemetery|website=Kensalgreencemetry.com|access-date=18 April 2023))</ref> including upwards of 500 members of the British nobility and 970 people listed in the ''[[Dictionary of National Biography]]''. Many monuments, particularly the larger ones, lean precariously as they have settled over time on the underlying London clay.

==Notable structures==
Many buildings and structures within Kensal Green are [[Listed building|listed]].

The Anglican Chapel is listed Grade I,<ref>((NHLE|num=1190995 |desc=The Anglican Chapel|grade=I|access-date=15 February 2022))</ref> while the [[Dissenters' Chapel, Kensal Green]] is listed Grade II* and the <!-- main entrance, Wakeman Road gateway, --> colonnade/catacomb and perimeter walls and railings are listed Grade II. Of the many tombs, memorials and mausoleums, eight are listed Grade II*, while The Reformers' Memorial is listed Grade II. The [[Tomb of Charles Spencer Ricketts]] is listed Grade II* and was designed by [[William Burges]].<ref>((NHLE|num=1080630|desc=Tomb of Commander Charles Spencer Ricketts, Royal Navy|grade=II*|access-date=1 February 2021))</ref>

===Anglican Chapel===
The Anglican Chapel is at the centre of the cemetery, and contains several tombs. The chapel was damaged during the Second World War but was restored in 1954.<ref name="auto1">((Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol37/pp333-339|title=Kensal Green &#124; British History Online|website=british-history.ac.uk))</ref> Under the chapel is a [[catacomb]], one of the few in London. The catacomb is currently not maintained but can be visited as part of a guided tour. It still has a working coffin-lift or [[catafalque]], restored by The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery in 1997.

===Dissenters' Chapel===
((Main|Dissenters' Chapel, Kensal Green))

Situated in the eastern corner of the cemetery this [[Greek Revival]] structure was for the use of all non-Anglican denominations and of non-believers. Only part of the cemetery was [[consecrated]], and [[Dissenters]] could opt to be buried in the non-consecrated areas following a service here. The cemetery became favoured by [[Nonconformist (Protestantism)|nonconformists]], [[free-thinkers]], non-Christians and [[atheists]], and thus this chapel became popular. The Dissenters' Chapel had become derelict and partly roofless, so in 1995 was leased to the [[Historic Chapels Trust]] who undertook £447,000 of restoration. The chapel currently serves as the office of The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, but is also available for funeral services.

[[File:The Robert Owen Memorial, Kensal Green Cemetery.JPG|thumb|left|upright|[[Robert Owen]] memorial (with the Reformers' Memorial to the right)]]

===The Reformers' Memorial===
The Reformers' Memorial was erected in 1885. It was erected at the instigation of Joseph Corfield "to the memory of men and women who have generously given their time and means to improve the conditions and enlarge the happiness of all classes of society". The monument has lists of names of reformers and radicals on its north and east sides (together with further names added in 1907 by Emma Corfield). It is paired with the [[Robert Owen]] memorial, and a second instance of a non-funerary memorial in the cemetery's nonconformist section.

The memorial was amended to include [[Lloyd Jones (socialist)|Lloyd Jones]] to recognise his contribution.

==The Catacombs==
[[File:The Catacombs of Kensal Green Cemetery.jpg|thumb|The Catacombs]]
The cemetery has three catacombs for the deposit of lead-sealed, triple-shelled coffins and cremated remains. Catacomb A, beneath the North Terrace Colonnade is now sealed. Catacomb Z, beneath the Dissenters' Chapel at the eastern end of the cemetery, suffered significant bomb damage during [[World War II]], and is also closed to further deposits.
Catacomb B, beneath the Anglican Chapel in the centre of the cemetery, has space for some 4,000 deposits, and still offers both private [[Loculus (architecture)|loculi]] and shelves or vaults for family groups. The catacomb extends under the entire footprint of the chapel and its colonnades. There are six aisles, within which each vault is numbered, running consecutively to number 216 at the south-western end of aisle 6.

Deposit within the catacombs of Kensal Green has always been more expensive and prestigious than burial in a simple plot in the grounds of the cemetery, although less costly than a brick-lined grave or [[mausoleum]]. Without the further expense and responsibility of a monument above the grave, the catacombs have afforded a secure, dignified and exclusive resting place for the well-to-do, particularly the unmarried, the childless and young children of those without family plots or mausolea elsewhere.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/|title=Home – Friends of Kensal Green|website=Friends of Kensal Green))</ref>

==War graves==
The cemetery contains the graves of 473 Commonwealth service personnel of the [[First World War]]—half of whom form a war graves plot in the south-west corner, the remainder in small groups or individual graves scattered throughout the grounds—and 51 of the [[World War II|Second]] who are all dispersed. In the First World War plot, at Section 213, a Screen Wall memorial lists casualties of both [[world war]]s whose graves could not be marked by headstones, besides five Second World War servicemen who were cremated at Kensal Green (also known as West London) Crematorium.<ref name=cwgc>((Cite web|url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2043517/KENSAL%20GREEN%20(ALL%20SOULS')%20CEMETERY|title=Kensal Green (All Souls') Cemetery &#124; Cemetery Details &#124; CWGC|website=Cwgc.org|access-date=18 April 2023))</ref> The highest-ranking person buried here who is commemorated by the [[CWGC]] is General [[Charles W.
