Lambeth Cemetery : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lambeth Cemetery Lambeth Cemetery, Blackshaw Road, Tooting, London SW17 0BY is in Tooting in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is one of three cemeteries now owned by the London Borough of Lambeth (the others being the South Metropolitan Cemetery in West Norwood and Streatham Cemetery also outside Lambeth and in the London Borough of Wandsworth). ==History== Like Streatham, Lambeth Cemetery was developed by a parish burial board in 1854 following the Metropolitan Burial Act of 1852 which was a response to the second cholera epidemic of 1848-49.〔(Lambeth Crematorium )〕〔(Outline of the growth of Metropolitan cemeteries )〕 It was one of a series of measures related to public health problems consequent on the growth of London. It is organised as a rectangular grid of paths, has a few trees and is sited just east of the River Wandle in what was countryside in the 1850s and was largely to remain so for some decades. There are two lodges beside the main gate in Blackshaw Road and a memorial chapel, all built in brick in a Gothic style and designed by F.K.Wehnert and J.Ashdown. The cemetery was extended to the south in 1874 when Robert Taylor was chairman of Lambeth Burial Board and Hugh Mcintosh was the surveyor who laid out the extension.〔Source of information on the extension is the stone inscription in the boundary fence in Blackshaw Road at the south end of the 1954 cemetery.〕 There is also a Crematorium and Garden of Remembrance opened in May 1969 in of gardens at the northern end.〔(Documents the Crematorium )〕 Another noteworthy feature is the screen wall memorial, in the south west corner of the cemetery, unveiled in 1953 for both First and Second World War graves of Commonwealth service personnel which could not be marked by CWGC headstones. There are 217 Commonwealth war graves from the First and 145 from the Second World War, besides one Belgian war grave and 29 British non-world war service graves.〔() CWGC Cemetery Report.〕
