St Mary's Churchyard and Willesden Old Burial Ground (also known as Willesden Parish Church)

Introduction

Many well-known local people have been buried here although few pre-19th century gravestones remain. The churchyard is walled with some good horse chestnuts and lime trees. Large-scale development has taken place around the Old Burial Ground, and extensive repairs and new paths are also being created in both churchyard and burial ground.
