About Huguenot Burial Ground, Wandsworth
This walled burial ground beside St Mary Magdalen RC Church was used from 1687 to 1854 by Huguenot refugees who settled in Wandsworth as hatters and textile workers. It is closed to new burials, but survives as a locally listed historic garden, with its handful of remaining monuments still cared for and visited.
Access: Managed by Wandsworth Council as a locally listed historic park and garden. Only a handful of monuments survive, including one largely illegible memorial, so any cleaning is careful, minimal and conservation-led rather than routine.
