This is awesome stuff David , and so interesting. I am fascinated by graveyards. All the years I lived in Putney yet did not know about this garden cemetery! Good work, thankyou!
Great video....focused and intetesting. I have an ancestor in this cemetery who died in 1903 at the age of 29.He was put in the unmarked paupers grave so there may well be more bodies there than are accounted for. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your comments. I will check out Spitalfields. Most London cemeteries eventually became full and owners were unable to generate income to cover maintenance costs. The cemeteries were then abandoned until volunteer groups started to clear up the neglected burial grounds.
Wow, Ebenezer Morley Cobb. Talk about a legacy. I guess the state of his personal memorial is balanced by the fact that there are pretty big monuments to him all around the world !!
I used to walk around this cemetery in the late 1960's as a child. I loved it and found reading the inscriptions so interesting.

Yes, it's highly likely that the names of many of the deceased in this cemetery are no longer known.
What a wonderful video. I Absolutely loved it..🫶🏼💪🏽🕊🦋💙🙏🏽
Thank you for your lovely compliment. David
