St John-at-Hampstead on Church Row is a Church of England churchyard with an Additional Burial Ground across the road, both densely packed with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tombs. The stone is weathered limestone and sandstone, often lichened and hard to read. We clean graves and headstones there gently, using stone-safe methods and working to the parish’s rules.
About St John-at-Hampstead Churchyard & Additional Burial Ground
There has been burial at St John-at-Hampstead for around a thousand years; the present church on Church Row dates from 1745. The original churchyard was full by 1812, when the Additional Burial Ground across the road was consecrated — laid out on a documented grid of rows A to Q. The two are managed together, closed to new burials but carefully tended and much visited.
Access: Managed by the parish church of St John-at-Hampstead, so memorial work follows parish rules rather than a council’s. The churchyard and the Additional Burial Ground face each other across Church Row, and the Additional Ground is laid out in lettered rows, A to Q.
