Hertford Road Cemetery is a small Victorian council cemetery in Enfield, run by the London Borough of Enfield. Stones there range from weathered limestone and marble of the 1880s to modern polished granite, and London’s damp air leaves algae, lichen and dark staining. We clean them with stone-safe methods and work within the council’s memorial rules.
About Hertford Road Cemetery
Hertford Road Cemetery opened in 1880 and is one of five burial grounds the London Borough of Enfield runs directly, alongside Edmonton, Lavender Hill, Strayfield Road and Southgate. It is the smallest of them by recorded memorial count, and still in use, so Victorian stones and recent graves stand side by side.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Enfield, so memorial work follows the council’s cemetery regulations and its permit process. Sections and graves are numbered; the plot reference from your deeds or the cemetery office is all we need.
