Reception House, Hammersmith Cemetery, Margravine Road W6 - Hammersmith and Fulham
Single-storey octagonal brick building with a slate roof, circa 1869, probably by George Saunders, built to provide temporary resting places for bodies prior to burial. The rainwater goods are inadequate and failing, leading to deterioration of stone dressings, brickwork and mortars. The Friends of Margravine Cemetery funded a costed condition survey. The Local Authority has commissioned consultants to advise on repair and conservation works, and is working with the Friends of Margravine Cemetery and Historic England to identify appropriate funding sources.
