Buckingham Road Cemetery, Ilford
Buckingham Road cemetery was originally called Great Ilford Cemetery. It covers a large area and joins St Mary’s churchyard. It is run by the council who are currently restoring it.
Unfortunately they were forced to remove the Victorian Chapel which fell victim to dereliction and vandalism. The side of the chapel can be seen here on the photo of the Howards & Sons War Memorial.
The first burial at Buckingham Road was on 4 Sep 1881. Facing the cemetery gate is the memorial to Sir Peter Griggs 1850 – 1920 first member of Parliament for Ilford.
