GB 0074 B/GC 1830-1930 Collection 1.08 linear metres General Cemetery Company , Kensal Green

Between 1832 and 1847 Parliament authorised the establishment of eight commercial cemetery companies in the vicinity of London. The insanitary and indecent conditions in the existing overcrowded metropolitan graveyards were the motivating forces. The General Cemetery Company at Kensal Green, North Kensington, was the first of these. The company was established in 1830 and incorporated by an Act of Parliament of 1832. To obviate the opposition of the metropolitan clergy, a fee was paid to the incumbent of the parish in which each body originated.
