North Sheen Cemetery is a cemetery in Kew[1] in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (historically in North Sheen, Surrey). It is managed by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.[2]
The cemetery, which adjoins Mortlake Road (the A205 or South Circular Road) and Lower Richmond Road (the A316), opened in 1909 and is still in use.[2] It is also known as Fulham New Cemetery as it provided burials for the then Metropolitan Borough of Fulham when the old cemetery on Fulham Palace Road was full. It has a grid layout of paths and had a temporary chapel, which was replaced by a small red brick chapel in 1931.[3]
The cemetery includes 109 identified graves of casualties in the First World War and the Second World War[4] and a memorial garden.[3]
Notable burials
- Józef Retinger (1888 – 1960), Polish political adviser. He was a founder of the European Movement that would lead to the founding of the European Union and was involved in founding the Bilderberg Group.
