Kensal Green Cemetery

 
The Kensal Green Cemetery buildings are under the protection of English Heritage. As a result, the Dissenter's Chapel has undergone an extensive conservation project and there are plans to restore the Anglican Chapel and some of the monuments.

The Kensal Green Cemetery came into being in the 1830s when the London cemeteries filled up. It quickly became a noteworthy and preferable place to be burried.
