North Sheen Cemetery is a cemetery in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (historically in North Sheen, Surrey). It is managed by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The cemetery, which adjoins Mortlake Road (the A205 or South Circular Road) and Lower Richmond Road (the A316), opened in 1909 and is still in use.〔 It is also known as Fulham New Cemetery as it provided burials for the then Metropolitan Borough of Fulham when the old cemetery on Fulham Palace Road was full. It has a grid layout of paths and had a temporary chapel, which was replaced by a small red brick chapel in 1931.〔 The cemetery includes 110 identified graves of Commonwealth service personnel in the First World War and the Second World War〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=North Sheen Cemetery, Surrey )〕 and a memorial garden. ==Notable burials== *Gwyneth Dunwoody (née Phillips; 1930–2008), British Labour Party politician and the longest ever serving female MP in the UK Parliament *Aleksandra Piłsudska (1882–1963), Polish political activist who was married to Polish leader Józef Piłsudski *Józef Retinger (1888–1960), Polish political adviser.
