Lavender Hill Cemetery on Cedar Road is Enfield’s large Victorian council cemetery, opened in 1872, with two chapels inside the entrance and memorial stock to match — weathered limestone, sandstone and marble alongside later granite. Lichen, algae and dark surface soiling are the usual problems. We clean gently, with stone-safe methods, within the council’s memorial rules.
About Lavender Hill Cemetery
Opened in 1872 on Cedar Road, Lavender Hill covers 28 acres, with a further 12-acre extension — Strayfield Road Cemetery — reached through it. Two facing chapels stand just inside the entrance, one built for Anglicans and one for non-conformists: a classic Victorian layout, with correspondingly varied memorials. It is run by the London Borough of Enfield.
Access: Run by the London Borough of Enfield; memorial work follows council cemetery regulations. Access is from Cedar Road, and the same entrance serves Strayfield Road Cemetery, the extension beyond it. Sections and graves are numbered.
