South Ealing Cemetery (also known as Ealing & Old Brentford Cemetery)

Introduction

The cemetery was laid out with a series of straight drives having circular areas at intersections. An axial yew-lined drive leads from the main entrance to two circular beds, one planted with yew and containing tombs, the second with a deodar; the walk across the axis between these two circles is now unnecessarily accentuated by birch planting. The Gothic style cemetery buildings were designed by Charles Jones. Within the older part of the cemetery the planting is mainly sycamore, some holly and a boundary planting of yew. The cemetery is now closed to new burials, and only used for burials in re-opened family owned graves.
