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. Buried here are famous authors and painters and people of nobility, including Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, son of king George III.

The buildings in Kensal Green are Greek revival style and the most important of these are the Anglican Chapel and Catacombs, Dissenters Chapel and Catacombs, Colonnade and Catacombs, and the Main Entrance Gateway.
