Nunhead Cemetery (All Saints) SE15 - Southwark

An important public cemetery designed by J Bunstone Bunning and consecrated in 1840. The layout of the cemetery skilfully exploits the undulating topography to create picturesque effects and vistas. Vegetation and self-sown saplings are disrupting historic monuments and obscuring the legibility of the landscape. The Local Authority has secured funding from the National Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the East Lodge, a longstanding building at risk. Additionally, an updated Conservation Management Plan for the entire designed landscape will inform targeted restoration and ongoing maintenance.
