        CLA/052 · Collection · 1852-2000

        Records of the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, 1852-2000. Mainly administrative records including the Registers of Private (Purchased) Graves 1856-1949 (each volume is indexed). Some people purchased graves as they were needed, and in these cases, the date of burial corresponds fairly closely with the date of purchase of the grave. However, other people purchased a grave decades before they died, so the date of burial is not always enough to enable the registers to be searched. It is often useful to refer to the burial registers first (still held by the Cemetery), to obtain the grave number and grant number, which can then be used to locate the relevant Register of Private (Purchased) Graves in CLRO. These registers record who purchased each grave and when, who was interred in it (name, age and date of burial, for each person buried in that particular grave), and the numbers of the grave, grave grant, square, plot and register entry.

        Also Cremation Registers from the date of the first cremation to 1943 (later registers remain at the Cemetery); registers of niches and of grants of niches in the Columbarium, 1930-1948; registers of monuments, 1870-1948, arranged in grave number order, and giving the name of the purchaser of the grave, together with very brief details of memorial stones; financial records relating to the cemetery, cremation and minister's fees, 1856-1997; inventory of the plant, fixtures, fittings, office furniture, stores and vehicles at the cemetery, 1960; cemetery ledgers, 1856-1931; general administrative reports relating to the establishment of the cemetery, 1853-1873 and crematorium 1899-1905; histories, leaflets, guides with tables of charges 1858-1936; photographs of the cemetery from [1929] to 1997 showing the grounds, monuments and the interior of chapels and an extensive series of plans including the site at Little Ilford 1853-1856; contract plans for the cemetery, catacombs and chapels 1854-1876; later plans of extensions to the cemetery and alterations to the chapel; crematorium 1903-1905 and new crematorium, 1967 and lodges, houses, mausoleums, memorial and memorial gardens. A portfolio of Haywood's earliest designs and ideas for cemetery buildings, mostly undated but believed to be 1853 to 1854 is also available.

        Specification of Works to be contracted for in Building the Conservative Club House in St. James Street, May 1843, formed of 20 large parchment membranes taped together.

        The Specification commences with 74 articles dealing with the structure, the site, and general conditions for the performance of the work; these fill rather more than five membranes. The rest of the Specification is headed "Description of inside Work and Finishings" and deals with the interior of the intended building, room by room, and staircases, passages, etc. There are ten small marginal drawings of mouldings, fitments, etc.

        The signatories are:

        Boston W. Ormsby Gore J.M. Fector Geo.Baker Castlereagh Geo.W.Baker

        The place of Lord Boston and Viscount Castlereagh and W. Ormsby Gore, as Conservative peers and Conservative M.P. respectively, is obvious. The function of John Minet Fector in this transaction is as yet unascertained; he was a collateral descendant of the well-known Minet family. The two Bakers doubtless represent the firm of George Baker and Son, builders, of Palace New Road, Lambeth.
