Chingford Mount Cemetery

Opened in May 1884, 41½ acres in size, it was laid out on the site of the house and grounds of Caroline Mount.

Abney Park opened in response to the burial conditions of cemeteries in the inner city.

Chingford Mount was the first new site to open under this regime, followed by Hendon Park and Greenford.

Following the collapse of the managing company in the 1970s, plans were submitted to turn over unused parts of the burial ground for redevelopment as housing.

Objections from local residents halted this plan and the cemetery is now under the care of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
