Margravine Cemetery was laid out by local architect George Saunders and opened in 1868. Mr. Saunders designed the modest Gothic style lodges and two chapels. Only one chapel survives today as the other was dismantled in 1939. The first burial took place on 3 November 1869. In 1951 the 16.5 acres of Margravine became a Garden of Rest when the Hammersmith Council decided to remove as many memorials and bury as many tombstones as possible due to concerns for Margravine's dilapidated condition. The "clean up" operation was completed in 1965 leaving behind the mix and grass that is seen today. The cemetery was designated part of the Barons Court Conservation area in April 1989. Location is 23 Margravine Gardens Hammersmith, next to the Barons Court Tube Station.
