DURHAM FAMILY HISTORY CEMETERIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DURHAM FAMILY
	PAGE UPDATED 2 SEPTEMBER 2012
BROCKLEY CEMETERY, KENT		EVANS FAMILY 6 people	Brockley Cemetery, formerly Deptford Cemetery, was opened 1858 on previously open land, and is a characteristic example of the first wave of Victorian public cemeteries, and is now part of the Brockley Conservation Area. Together with Ladywell Cemetery, previously known as Lewisham Cemetery, it occupies 37 acres (150,000m^2) of land wholly within the London Borough of Lewisham and is owned and managed by the Cemeteries and Crematorium Services of the Borough. They are also nature conservation sites of Borough Importance Grade 1 and a haven for wildlife, plants and wildflowers. Both cemeteries hold a wealth of historical interest. Evidence of Deptford's seafaring past can be found in the many inscriptions and adornments on the headstones.
GRAVESEND CEMETERY, KENT		DURHAM FAMILY 5 people	The area was originally pleasure gardens, opened in 1834, but turned into a cemetery in 1837, as the 'Gravesend & Milton Cemetery Company'. The first burial in the cemetery took place in 1839. The original cemetery company was declared bankrupt in 1847 but the cemetery continued in private ownership until 1905 when it was acquired by Gravesend Corporation. The Lodge, Chapel and Catacombs and the original part of the cemetery are Grade 2 listed and are also included on the English Heritage Register for Parks and Gardens of Historic Interest
GREENWICH, KENT		DURHAM FAMILY 4 people	Greenwich Cemetery was founded 1856 by the Burial Board. There are two Gothic chapels, and a 1930’s lodge. Around the cemetery are railings, and brick piers with stone capitals. There are panoramic views from top of hill of Crystal Palace and towards the City. There are various areas within the cemetery such as Great War Heroes Corner and Commonwealth Burial Ground, a Norwegian section for refugees of World War II, and a Children's section. Due to the proximity of the military academy and other institutions at Woolwich, there are many soldiers buried here. As almost all the Durham deaths in the area occurred before 1856, perhaps they are not buried here, but at St Alphege’s Church, Greenwich
NUNHEAD CEMETERY, SURREY ALL SAINTS' CEMETERY		DURHAM FAMILY 18 people	Nunhead Cemetery is perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. It's formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era
NORWOOD, SURREY, SOUTH METROPOLITAN CEMETERY		KNOTT FAMILY 3 people	also known as (West) Norwood Cemetery, it is a 40-acre (16 ha) cemetery in West Norwood, London Borough of Lambeth, consecrated in 1837 - one of the first private landscaped cemeteries in London, it is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries of London, and is a site of major historical, architectural and ecological interest. Its grounds are a mixture of historic monumental cemetery and modern lawn cemetery, but it also has catacombs, cremation plots and a columbarium for cindery ashes. The cemetery's crematorium still operates, and cremation plots are still available, but all the conventional burial plots have been allocated and hence it is closed to new burials pending further agreement under current burial legislation
