Watford: Vicarage Road Cemetery & Chapel

Submitted by Nigel Cox

Name	Watford: Vicarage Road Cemetery & Chapel
Distance	0.21 miles from WD18 7HR
Description	The Cemetery was opened in 1858 and covers about 5.6 hectares or about 14 acres of land. It is now full for ordinary burials. Although it is now surrounded on three sides by Victorian housing, when it was opened it was in open countryside, away from the centre of Watford in the hamlet of Colney Butts. The original site was rectangular but was extended to the west in late Victorian times before the houses in West Watford were built. This chapel was built as the Episcopal Chapel, there being a separate chapel for Dissenters to the north.
