Burial History in Lewisham
Brockley and Ladywell Cemeteries opened in 1858 and are administered together as a pair of adjoining Victorian burial grounds that served the rapidly expanding communities of Lewisham, Catford and Deptford. Hither Green Cemetery followed in 1873, laid out with winding paths and mature tree cover that give it an unusually naturalistic character for a municipal Victorian site. Grove Park Cemetery, added in the early 20th century, completed the borough's burial provision as suburban development continued to push southwards.
