Description

The Magnificent Seven London's First Landscaped Cemeteries By John Turpin and Derrick Knight Amberley, 2011, 158 pages, paperback. In the mid-19th century, entrepreneurs responded to the overcrowding of London's churchyards by creating a series of landscaped cemeteries on the outskirts of the city. These 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries set a new standard for burial grounds, showcasing neoclassical and neo-Gothic architecture and reflecting Victorian society. From grand Kensal Green to modest Tower Hamlets, each cemetery offers a unique glimpse into London's history and social landscape. This book explores the design, construction, and significance of these cemeteries, revealing the stories behind their creation and the people who are buried there.
