Battersea - Cemeteries
From Sherwood Ramsey, Historic Battersea, Published1913 by G. Rangecroft & Co, St John's Hill, Battersea S.W.:
In 1853 the parish churchyard [St Mary's] was closed for interments, and a Burial Board was formed consisting of nine members. One of the first works of the Board was to purchase about seven and a half acres of land on Battersea Rise, which they laid out as a cemetery. This served its purpose until 1885, when the Vestry and the Burial Board resolved to provide a much larger place of burial, and several sites were suggested, but the final selection was a piece of land of over one hundred and twenty-four acres in the parish of Morden, known as Hobalt's Farm. This cemetery, with the buildings, cost nearly £25,000.
