St Mary's Churchyard, including Church Field, Wimbledon (also known as Wimbledon Parish Church)

Introduction

Now closed to burials apart from those in existing family plots, the churchyard has a Garden of Remembrance for cremated ashes. Near the entrance to the church is a stuccoed early-19th-century lodge with seated stag that formerly belonged to Wimbledon Park House. Adjacent to the churchyard to the west is Church Field, which was purchased by the church in 1956.
