Opened in 1840 on the outskirts of Victorian London. The first in the cemetery in October 1840 was buried Karl Abbott, a 101-year-old grocer from Ipswich . On average, up to 2,000 burials were made per year.
Monuments on the graves of wealthy city dwellers, which contrast with modest gravestones of simpler people, are of artistic interest. By the middle of the XIX century, the cemetery was almost completely filled, burials on it are currently not carried out. After restoration, it was opened to the public in 2001.
