Provision for (grave 37,815, square 124) grave reuse (no loss of pre-1966 monuments), further drainage and roadway works, including proper maintenance of the grass footpaths, and a timetable for a Heritage Lottery Fund bid are also included in the plan. Proposals as yet it must be emphasised, but unimagined progress considering our roller-coaster ride with Lambeth over the years. Conservation Issues The bonded surface to the newly-reinstated roadway at the entrance to the cemetery has been laid and looks great. The new planting and the uplighting to the Tite arch and certain key monuments visible from the public roads, such as that of the Trodd family, is also very effective – thanks to Colin Fenn for having the foresight to plan for this. Repairs to the south wall at the angle near to Hubbard Road are also well in hand – those responsible for the work are doing a very thorough job. Finally, although the railings of the Gilbart monument have been repaired, the damage to the granite supporting piers has not been tackled as yet. Similarly, a supply of stone is awaited before the repair of the Birkett family monument can be completed (see September 2014 Cemetery wall under repair Newsletter). Credit must be given to Lambeth Project near to Hubbard Road Officer Steve Wong for all his hard work on these and other projects, including the Capital Investment plan. Great War Connections Whilst we do not have a heritage of commemoration stret- ching as far back as that of the Tower of London, where the traditional display of severed heads was replaced recently by one of ceramic poppies, thanks primarily to the efforts of Colin Fenn we staged our Wrenches, Trenches, and Stenches exhibition in September (see p. 12). Colin is also producing a series of 5 booklets on the cemetery’s Great War Connections, the first of which 1914: From arbitration to armaments is available from the FOWNC bookstall. In addition, the article by Stephen Oxford (p. 4) gives details of one of the first British officers to die in the conflict. Finally, we plan to screen the seminal film The Battle of the Somme at our February meeting and to discuss the role played by Dr Distin Maddick and his family in its production and in saving the master copy (p. 15). FOWNC Matters At the AGM in October we were pleased to welcome Jennifer Palmer-Violet and Roger Myhill to our committee. Both are already accomplished tour guides and Roger has set up a Twitter account (@fownc1837). Our membership remains strong at almost 450, and this is of immeasurable help in our dealings with Lambeth. - 2 - Listed Structures in the Cemetery Nicholas Long The South Metropolitan Cemetery is well recognised for its architectural and historical importance. It was first designated by Lambeth Council as a Conservation Area in June 1978; was registered on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens on 1 October 1987; and is now Grade II* listed. The cemetery contains 69 Listed structures, including 66 memorials Listed at either Grade II* or II, mostly scheduled during the major borough list (Lambeth) revision of 27 March 1981, with further additions on 2 August 1993. The appreciation by English Heritage (EH) of funerary monuments has grown consider- ably since its first survey of the cemetery in the late 1970s and it is now acknowledged that the cemetery contains many further examples of high quality memorials worthy of Listing. In the next few months FOWNC intends to propose further memorials for Listing (a ministerial decision) and members are invited to nominate memorials for inclusion in this submission. A memorial should be of exceptional quality or interest, either being of architectural importance (this could include materials, design, or other factors such as the quality of the lettering), or commemorating an individual of national or international significance. Nominations, with brief details, should be sent to Bob Flanagan (see p. 16). Once Listed a memorial gains a measure of protection and, in theory, can only be altered or demolished after careful consideration. This did not prevent Lambeth from demol- ishing four such memorials in the late 1980s, but such was their significance that the council was eventually ordered to replicate the destroyed monuments by the Consistory Court.1 EH keeps the condition of all Listed structures under review and produces an annual ‘At Risk’ register – currently 20 memorials in the cemetery are so registered. Colin Fenn has had informal discussions with EH and understands two further memorials are to be added to this register. Recently, EH has been in contact with Lambeth’s Conservation Officer informing her that a contractor is to be appointed to undertake a formal survey of the condition of the ‘at risk’ Listed memorials. This is a timely first step as Lambeth is in the process of finalising a Capital Investment Programme for the cemetery that includes significant provision for memorial repairs, as reported by Bob Flanagan (p. 1). This funding will underpin the management plan for the cemetery, due to be approved during 2015, which recognises the priority to be accorded to vulnerable Listed memorials, such as the Sparen- borg tomb (see p. 4). Further funding will be required, which in part might come from proposed Heritage Lottery Fund bids, but some could also come from monies husbanded by FOWNC for monument repair. It will also be important to engage with the Greek community as to the extensive works required in their cemetery. 1 We still have a restoration order outstanding for the Grane family memorial (grave 4,894, square 34) – see Newsletter 71, May 2011 - 3 - Captain Hans Robert Sparenborg (1876-1914) Stephen Oxford Captain Hans Sparenborg, who is remembered on his mother’s grave at Norwood, the Grade II listed tomb of Annie Sparenborg (1854–1904), was one of the first British officers to be killed in World War One. Born on 2 November 1876 in Calcutta, West Bengal, and baptised on 18 July 1886, he was the first child of Johann Lubbo Sparenborg and Annie Charlotte A. Sparenborg, née Belchambers. His father, Johann, had been born in Norden, East Frisia, Lower Saxony, on the North Sea coast of Germany, in 1849. In the later 19th century Britain had close ties with Germany, with cordial relations on each side. A German Evangelical church was built in Dacres Road, Forest Hill in 1883 to cater for the large numbers of Germans in the area - many Germans were attracted by the Crystal Palace and set up their homes in its vicinity. It is not clear when Johann Sparenborg moved to England, but by 1891 he was living with his family in Lancaster Road, South Norwood. In the 1911 census he is recorded as a chemical merchant. Johann was the son of Jan Weets Sparenborg and Anna Dorothea Sparenborg (German subjects). Johann was granted naturalization 8 March 1906. This was followed by an announcement to that effect in the Jewish Chronicle. Hans was educated at Dulwich College from 1887–1894. He played in the college’s Captain Hans Sparenborg First XV rugby team 1892–4, and also played in the cricket team. In 1891 the Sparenborgs were living at 37 Lancaster Road, South Norwood, less than three and a half miles from Dulwich College. The family comprised Hans, 14, his mother Annie, 36 and his brother Johann Adolf, 10, also born in Calcutta; Johann Lubbo was in India at that time. They had one servant, Bessie Oram, 20, from Wiltshire. Career Soldier From Dulwich College, Hans went on to Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, in October 1894. From there he was commissioned into the King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regiment and was present at the relief of Ladysmith in February 1900. On 23 May 1900 he was gazetted 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Battalion The King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. At this time he lived at 40 Abbey Gardens, London. In 1901, aged 24, Hans was a Student Officer at the School of Musketry in Hythe St Leonard, Kent.

  • Mr Boris Johnson, Mayor of London the Greater London Authority City Hall, the Queen’S Walk, London, SE1 2AA
    Mr Boris Johnson, Mayor of London The Greater London Authority City Hall, The Queen’s Walk, London, SE1 2AA BY EMAIL: 13 March 2013 Dear Mayor Johnson Policing and Crime Plan The Crystal Palace Community Association (CPCA), a 43-year-old registered charity and amenity society, and the Gipsy Hill Residents Association (GHRA), is deeply concerned over proposals to close the purpose built Gipsy Hill police station as part of the cuts to be imposed on London’s police forces. Upper Norwood is a unique part of southeast London lying, as it does, at the confluence of five London boroughs; Lambeth, Croydon, Southwark, Bromley and Lewisham. There is nowhere else in London with this anomalous configuration. Over many decades the cross-borough make-up of the neighbourhood has led to significant difficulties in many areas of local government administration including effective, intelligence- led, local policing. Different initiatives have been made over the years to improve the efficacy of policing in Norwood; the latest being the creation of a Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood Triangle SNT. This cross-borough team has enjoyed some success; demonstrating the benefits and efficiencies of cross-border policing. However, it is understood that even this small presence is likely to be reduced under ill-conceived and researched cost-cutting proposals with the ‘Local Policing Model’ being part reliant on ‘contact points’ in, as yet, unidentified locations. Additionally, police will be based at centres well away from the Crystal Palace/Norwood area ensuring that valuable time is spent ‘commuting’ between their ‘home’ base and the ‘patch’ they have been assigned to work in.
