Twickenham Cemetery, opened in 1868 on Hospital Bridge Road, is a council cemetery run by the London Borough of Richmond, despite actually standing in Whitton rather than central Twickenham. Its Victorian headstones typically show the weathered limestone and marble staining common to burial ground of this age. We carry out careful, stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, following the council’s rules.
About Twickenham Cemetery
Twickenham Cemetery opened in 1868 on Hospital Bridge Road. Despite the name, it stands in Whitton rather than central Twickenham, and is a separate site from the nearby Borough Cemetery, which is also in the Whitton area but owned by Hounslow. Twickenham Cemetery remains active for new burials, run by Richmond upon Thames council.
Access: Run by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Take care not to confuse it with Borough Cemetery, a separate, Hounslow-run site nearby in the same Whitton area — check the road name before arranging a visit or any memorial work.
