*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.'
'Inspired by the cemetery of Pere-Lachaises in Paris and founded in 1833 by the Barrister George Frederick Carden. Kensal Green Cemetery comprises 72 acres of beautiful grounds including two conservation areas and adjoining a canal. The Cemetery is home to 33 species of bird and other wildlife.'
The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery 'offer a two-hour introductory tour of the cemetery every Sunday from the beginning of March to the end of October, and the first and third Sunday only in November, December, January and February'.
