| Hampstead Cemetery covers 37 acres and
was opened in 1876. It is recorded that it cost the Board
£2,500 to lay out and plant the grounds, and £4,843
to build the chapels. The chapels were designed by Charles Bell
in 1876 in Kentish Rag and Bath Stone. The southern chapel was
for those to be buried in consecrated ground south of the main
avenue; the other was for burials in the unconsecrated ground
to the north. Among those buried there are Marie Lloyd, Joseph
Lister and Kate Greenaway. |
