Abney Cemetery

Julia Holberry Associates have been appointed to write Abney Park Cemetery’s Activity Plan in support of the Round 2 application.  Abney Park is one of Hackney’s finest green spaces and listed as a Grade II Park on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Historic Interest and is well used by the local population. As one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ cemeteries in London, it is the resting place of around 200,000 people in approximately 60,000 graves.  Our work will focus on finding out what events and activities the local community would like to see happening in the Park.
