 History of Kensal Green Cemetery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The General Cemetery of All Souls, Kensal Green, was the most fashionable burial ground in Victorian England, its social heyday framed by the funerals of HRH The Duke of Sussex in 1843 and that of his nephew HRH The Duke of Cumberland in 1904.
Suburban, non-denominational (and frankly commercial) cemeteries such as Kensal Green were a radically new idea in the 1830s, and there were only 192 interments in the first 18 months.
But Kensal Green's fortunes changed decisively in 1843 with the impressive semi-public funeral of Augustus Frederick, HRH Duke of Sussex, sixth son of George III and Queen Charlotte.
