The cemeteries of Greater London have been a neglected area of the
capital's history. They are filled not only with the remains of
recent generations but also with a wealth of architectural and
social history that is described here in an entertaining and
eloquent narrative full of picturesque melancholy. The book is
divided into two. Part one records the origins of London's
cemeteries and includes introductory chapters on cemetery history,
planning, architecture, epitaphs and natural history. Part two is a
gazetteer, with descriptions of all the cemeteries in Greater
London, together with short biographies of the celebrated people
buried in them. There are two indexes, one listing the names of
those in the gazetteer and a second naming the architects,
landscapers and sculptors whose work is represented in the
cemeteries. The text is illustrated throughout with contemporary
photographs and a wide range of rarely seen archive images. London
Cemeteries is an important source for biographical and genealogical
research, and a compendium of material for the architectural
historian. Social and local historians will also find much of
interest here.
