Cemetery grave database

This database holds details of illegally reused graves in West Norwood Cemetery and has been created following a Consistory Court judgement.

Burials at West Norwood Cemetery which were undisturbed are not listed here, but can be found in the normal cemetery registers held in Lambeth Archives and the cemetery office. 

For more information on the cemetery, visit the Friends of West Norwood Cemetery (FOWNC) website.
