Detail InformationEdit

Lambeth Cemetery, Blackshaw Road, Tooting, London SW17 0BY is in Tooting in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is one of three cemeteries now owned by the London Borough of Lambeth (the others being the South Metropolitan Cemetery in West Norwood and Streatham Cemetery also outside Lambeth and in the London Borough of Wandsworth).
Like Streatham, Lambeth Cemetery was developed by a parish burial board in 1854 following the Metropolitan Burial Act of 1852 which was a response to the second cholera epidemic of 1848-49. It was one of a series of measures related to public health problems consequent on the growth of the London. It is organised as a rectangular grid of paths and has a few trees and is sited just east of the River Wandle in what was countryside in the 1850s and was largely to remain so for some decades. There are two lodges beside the main gate in Blackshaw Road and a memorial chapel, all built in brick in a gothic style and designed by F.K.Wehnert and J.Ashdown.
The cemetery was extended to the south in 1874 when Robert Taylor was chairman of Lambeth Burial Board and Hugh Mcintosh was the surveyor who laid out the extension. There is also a Crematorium and Garden of Remembrance opened in May 1969 in 10 acres (40,000 m2) of gardens at the northern end. Another noteworthy feature is the War Memorial screen monument opened in 1953 for both First and Second World War graves.
