Putney Old Burial Ground

Introduction

A few gravestones and tombs remain in the grass and the former mortuary building is adjacent to the entrance gates and brick gate piers on the main road. The garden has mature trees, and also unusual ferns on the boundary walls. Refurbishment works in 2005 included refurbishment of railings, seats and paths. In 2008 Wandsworth Council completed a £43,000 project to restore a number of the C18th monuments, including that of archaeologist Robert Wood (d.1771).
