	Brompton Cemetery - Definition, explanation
		Brompton Cemetery is a famous cemetery located in Kensington, west London, England.
		The cemetery was opened as part of an initiative in the mid-19th century to provide seven large, modern cemeteries (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') in a ring round the outside of London of which Highgate Cemetery was another example.
		The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead.

	History of Brompton Cemetery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Brompton Cemetery, in the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, near Earl's Court, is one of the finest cemeteries in the country.
		The concept of the garden cemetery "as much for the enjoyment of the living as the repose of the dead" belonged jointly to J.C. Loudon, the landscape consultant, and Sir Jeffry Wyatville, William IV's architect and 'Surveyor of the Fabric'.
		Although the Cemetery was never intended to be a 'park', it was always envisaged as open landscape set with perspectives through leafy promenades and avenues of trees to spacious lawns, classical buildings and celebratory memorials.

	Brompton Cemetery
		Brompton Cemetery is a grand and imposing Victorian cemetery, featuring a mixture of grand old family tombs and vaults, large and impressive family or individual graves, as well as the more traditional and reasonably-sized graves, such as will be seen in any church graveyard.
		The cemetery is situated only minutes from the centre of London, near the western suburbs, which include Kensington and Earl's Court - indeed, it's right next to the well known and enormous Earl's Court Exhibition Centre.
		The cemetery has its own unique character; it hasn't the wilderness of Southampton Old Cemetery or the sheer vastness and beauty of Brookwood, but on the other hand it holds a fascination, difficult to pin down or describe, not shared by other large cemeteries.....

	19th Century Cemeteries
		Part of the cemetery grounds were consecrated for the use of the Anglicans while the remaining unconsecrated ground was used by the Dissenters.
		The cemetery was to be both a burial ground and an arboretum and the Company planted over 2,500 varieties of shrubs and trees and over 1,000 species of rose bushes, but this was never consecrated and was therefore available to all denominations.
		Dissenters from the established Church favoured the cemetery, but possibly due to their thrifty habits, the cemetery lacks the grand monuments to be found in Kensal Green or Highgate.

	[No title]
		The cemetery, sited to spectacular effect in a disused sandstone quarry (later dominated by the Anglican cathedral), was funded by the incorporation of a joint-stock company, an enterprise which, the year after its opening, saw shareholders receiving an annual dividend of 8%.
		Cemetery buildings have generally been designed to form an integral part of an overall scheme, and indeed the ground plan of the cemetery is often by the same hand as the architecture.
		Since the primary function of a cemetery is for burials, and that during the 19th and 20th centuries grave plots have most commonly been marked by monuments, in an historic cemetery these structures are an integral part of the whole.
