Putney Vale Cemetery

Putney Vale Cemetery and Crematorium in southwest London is located in Putney Vale, surrounded by Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park. It is located within 47 acres (19 ha) of parkland. The cemetery was opened in 1891 and the crematorium in 1938. The cemetery was originally laid out on land which had belonged to Newlands Farm, which was established in the medieval period.[1]

Putney Vale Crematorium

The cemetery has two chapels, one being a traditional Church of England chapel and the other being used for multi-denomination or non-religious services. It has a large Garden of Remembrance.[2]

There are 87 Commonwealth war grave burials from the First World War and 97 from the Second World War in the cemetery. Six Victoria Cross recipients have been buried or cremated here.[3] The burials are scattered throughout the grounds of the cemetery and a Screen Wall Memorial has been erected to record the names of those whose graves are not marked by headstones. Those who have been cremated at Putney Vale Crematorium also have their names recorded on these panels.[4]

gollark: There's a bit of code in `load` which checks user code for stuff which looks like known virii/bad OSes.
gollark: I may need to improve the potatOS antivirus.
gollark: I've not *heard* of one.
gollark: A common obfuscation technique in the CC community is `string.dump`ing your code to bytecode so you can't (very easily) read the original source.
