You can protect cemeteries by keeping people out, but also by welcoming them in. There is no consistent set of rules to govern appropriate behaviour in cemeteries, and notions of what is ‘respectful’ vary enormously. Having too many rules risks alienating visitors and creates problems for those who have to police them. Having no rules invites mayhem. 11.30-11.45 Diversifying Audiences in Abney Park Cemetery | Tom Simpson | Abney Park manager For those of the Magnificent Seven that no-longer operate as working cemeteries, increasing the diversity of park users and uses is crucial in preserving and protecting these unique sites. However, encouraging people to engage with spaces that are ‘full of dead people’ can be challenging. This presentation explores how Cemeteries can diversify audiences and the challenges faced when trying to attract new users to a cemetery. 11.45-12.00 Q&A: Challenges to diversity in cemeteries with Ian Dungavell and Tom Simpson.

  • Consultation on Proposed Changes and Investment Into West Norwood Cemetery (Phase 2 Consultation)
    Consultation on proposed changes and investment into West Norwood Cemetery (Phase 2 consultation) Consultation Report June 2018 Contents 1 Introduction 1.1 Background West Norwood Cemetery was established by Act of Parliament in 1836 and designed by Sir William Tite. It was laid out, in what was then open countryside, close to the Great North Wood to relieve the over-full churchyards of the growing city of London. In recent years the Gothic Revival-style cemetery, which contains 69 Listed Grade II* and II memorials and structures, has faced an increasing threat to its future and long-term sustainability. With local residents and our partners we hope to address this through a National Lottery-funded project. With Heritage Lottery funding (HLF) and Lambeth’s match funding we have a budget of £441,000 to develop proposals for the Cemetery over an 18-month period, up to August 2018. If we successfully secure a HLF grant to protect and improve the cemetery, we expect work will be carried out over five years between 2019 and 2024. 1.2 Our proposals ‘West Norwood Cemetery: A New Beginning’ is a HLF-funded project that proposes conservation of the cemetery’s significant landscape and built structures and increased community use. It includes ideas for the conservation of monuments along with a new visitor centre to tell the cemetery’s history. By enhancing visitor amenities - and accessibility - we want to encourage greater use by local people, in a densely populated area, where there is a lack of open space. We aim to deliver an activities programme to support volunteering and learning as well as design digital and interpretation materials.

    }triendi3 of lr{ei3f 12orwood Jlemefery NEWSLEITER NO 4: DECEMBER 1990 THE MEETING OF LAMBETH COUNCIL, 17th October 1990 At a typically lively and noisy meeting of the Full Council in October, Councillor John Whelan, and Nicholas Reed, FOWNC Chairman, asked questions of two Committee Chairmen. Councillor Stewart Hunter, Chair of Lambeth's Public Works Corrmittee said his officers were doing a splendid job, and 'Went on to take a completely political stance, accusing his first questioner of wishing to turn. the Cemetery back into a private company (something he had never mentioned). Yet in view of Lambeth I S apparent eagerness to demolish so much in the Cemetery, simply in order to provide more burial space, and thus increase the revenues received by the Cemetery, one begins to wonder if things are so very different from when the old Cemetery Companies used to maximise their burial revenues. One would have expected such behaviour from capitalist Victorian businesses 100 years ago, but one hardly expects it nowadays from a left-wing Labour Council! Lambeth declared the Cemetery a Conservation Area in 1978, This makes it also a matter for the Planning Coomittee, since tedmically, any changes made to such an area should be notified to, and approved by, the Planning Committee. In her reply, Councillor Arma Tapsell, Chair of Lambeth's Planning COIlII1i.ttee, pointed out that many Lambeth Councillors may not be aware of the decisions taken many years ago to carry out "lawn conversion" in the Cemetery. And "in view of the criticisms raised by the Friends of the Cemetery," she is asking for a detailed report on all three cemeteries to be prepared by her officers, after consulting all parties.

  • New Southgate Cemetery Bill [HL]
    [HC] New Southgate Cemetery Bill [HL] EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM This Bill is promoted by New Southgate Cemetery and Crematorium Limited (“the Company”). It confers powers on the Company and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha´’´ıs of the United Kingdom (“the Baha´’´ıs”), who are between them the burial authorities responsible for New Southgate Cemetery (“the cemetery”). The purpose of this Bill is to authorise the Company and the Baha´’´ıs (“the burial authorities”) to extinguish rights of burial in grave spaces, and to disturb and reinter human remains in graves, in their respective sections of the cemetery in order to increase the space for further interments in such graves, as well as powers to use appropriately or remove altogether from the cemetery any memorials on such graves. It would provide the burial authorities with the same powers that are already available in respect of local authority run burial grounds in London. Clause 1 gives the short title of the Bill and provides for it to come into force 28 days after it is passed. Clause 2 defines certain expressions used in the Bill. Clause 3 provides the burial authorities with the power to extinguish rights of burial in grave spaces in the cemetery where a right of burial has not been exercised for 75 years or more from the date of the latest burial in the grave space or, if there has been no burial in the grave space, from the date of the grant of the right of burial in the grave space. Clause 3 is substantially based on section 6 of the City of London (Various Powers) Act 1969, and section 9 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1976, which provide the equivalent powers in respect of publicly run burial grounds in London.
