ICCM South East Branch Meeting Networking Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brompton Cemetery, one of the Magnificent Seven<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday 16th<\/sup> October 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW DATE! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the tube strikes planned to take place from Sunday 7th<\/sup> September to Thursday 11th September 2025, with little to no service expected, we have had to make the decision to cancel the branch meeting which was scheduled to take place on Wednesday 10th<\/sup> September.<\/p>\n

The branch meeting will now take place on Thursday 16th<\/sup> October<\/strong> instead. Those members already booked on to the original branch meeting will automatically be reserved a space and will be contacted separately. However, there is an opportunity for other members to now book their place.<\/p>\n

Brompton Cemetery, located in West London, is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries established in the 19th century to address overcrowding in London\u2019s parish burial grounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Originally run by the West London and Westminster Cemetery Company, it became one of the few cemeteries to be taken over by the state\u2014specifically by the Crown, in 1852. Now managed by The Royal Parks, it is the only cemetery in the UK under royal ownership.<\/p>\n

The cemetery is notable for its grand central avenue, colonnades, and Great Circle, and it houses over 35,000 monuments. It serves as the final resting place for many notable figures, including suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, inventor Sir Henry Cole, and Doctor John Snow, whose groundbreaking research linked cholera outbreaks to contaminated water, revolutionising public health practices.<\/p>\n

Brompton Cemetery is not only a burial ground but also a public green space, rich in Victorian heritage, wildlife, and community use, making it a unique blend of history, nature, and culture in modern London.<\/p>\n

The meeting will open with a talk on the history of the cemetery delivered by\u00a0 Emma Sparre-Newman, Cemetery Services and Business Development Manager and a tour of the grounds is also included.<\/p>\n
