About Moravian Burial Ground, Chelsea
The Moravian Burial Ground, off King’s Road in Chelsea, stands in the former stable yard of Beaufort House and has been in use since 1751. It is laid out with flat stones in four quadrants — men, women, boys and girls — a memorial form unique in London. It remains consecrated ground, occasionally still used, and its memorials continue to be tended and visited.
Access: Administered by the Moravian Church. It is a small, still-consecrated site, rarely listed among London cemeteries, so any cleaning visit should be arranged with the church in advance.

What makes the Moravian Burial Ground different from a typical London cemetery?+
Its layout is unusual. Rather than rows of headstones, memorials here are flat stones set out in four separate quadrants for men, women, boys and girls — a form said to be unique in London. Because the stones lie flat and close to the ground, they can be more prone to moss and soil build-up than upright headstones elsewhere.
