Burial History in Wandsworth
Putney Vale Cemetery, opened in 1891, is one of the larger Victorian municipal burial grounds in south-west London, with mature woodland and a distinctive Edwardian chapel within its grounds. Wandsworth Cemetery — also known locally as Magdalen Road Cemetery — was established in the same era, with Putney Lower Common Cemetery close by, while earlier riverside communities in Putney, Battersea and Tooting maintained parish churchyards stretching back to the medieval period. The borough's proximity to the Thames shaped its burial landscape, with several riverfront parishes preserving grave inscriptions that record generations of watermen and riverside traders.
