South Ealing Cemetery (formerly Ealing and Old Brentford Cemetery) is a cemetery in Ealing established in 1861.[1] It covers 21 acres.[2]
The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 184 armed service personnel, as well as that of Pierre Francois Van Wesemael, a Belgian soldier of World War I.[2][3]
The cemetery contains two Grade II listed chapels at the South Ealing Road entrance. The chapels are linked by a carriage arch, with clock and belfry above, designed by Ealing's prolific municipal architect Charles Jones (architect) and built in 1861.[4] The stained glass in the chapel was designed in 1908 by the Ealing designer, Edward Stanley Watkins, who lived nearby on Ranelagh Road.[5]
The Ealing Parks Foundation, working with local volunteers and Ealing Council, is leading a project to renovate the chapels and restore use of the cemetery grounds for nature and public wellbeing.[6]
