Woodgrange Park Cemetery is a private cemetery in London, England.
History
It opened on 12 February 1889.[1] The cemetery was opposed in the House of Commons by the local MP, James Theobald, because of the proximity of the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium and the Manor Park Cemetery and Crematorium.[2] It was built on land owned by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury.[3] The architect of the chapel and entrance lodge was William Gillbee Scott.[4]
