George Frederick Carden : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Frederick Carden George Frederick Carden (1798- 18 November 1874) was an English barrister, magazine editor and businessman, credited with the development of the garden cemetery movement in Britain and the foundation of London's pioneering example: Kensal Green Cemetery. ==Development of the General Cemetery Company== Carden, later editor of the ''Penny Magazine'', was apparently inspired by a visit to Paris's Père-Lachaise Cemetery in 1821,〔(The Founding of Kensal Green Cemetery ) Accessed 7 February 2014〕 and saw an opportunity to replace overcrowded, insanitary church graveyards with appealing suburban cemeteries catering for the affluent middle and upper classes. His first prospectus, issued in 1825, failed, but a new committee established in February 1830,〔 including Andrew Spottiswoode, MP for Saltash, sculptor Robert William Sievier, banker Sir John Dean Paul,〔 Charles Broughton Bowman (first committee secretary),〔(Kensal Green Founders ) Accessed 10 February 2014〕 and architects Thomas Willson (who had previously proposed an ambitious Metropolitan Sepulchre project) and Augustus Charles Pugin, 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 Carden was elected treasurer.〔 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.
