History

In the early 1800s, London’s rapid and growing population needed to have new and huge cemeteries because of the saturation of the local burial area , Parliament passed a bill in 1832 to encourage the establishment of new private cemeteries. Within ten years, seven had been established (later dubbed 'The Magnificent Seven), one of which was Abney Park.
