*Kensal Green Cemetery
'Kensal Green was designed in the spirit of an English country park, to plans including those of Richard Forrest, a landscape gardener whose aristocratic connections included Eaton Hall, Cheshire, and Syon Park, Middlesex. Its plantings were much influenced by the theories of John Claudius Loudon (who is buried at Kensal Green), although an early experiment with cedars quickly gave way to horse-chestnuts and other deciduous species. The cemetery was much commended for the beauty and tranquillity of its landscape, and even maintained its own conservatory for the better part of a century.'
