London Road Cemetery, Grade I listed park and garden in Coventry, England
London Road Cemetery extends across a former quarry site, featuring two distinct chapels and numerous monuments amid landscaped grounds and exotic trees.
Joseph Paxton designed this cemetery in 1845, transforming an abandoned quarry into a refined burial ground that exemplified the Victorian garden cemetery movement.
The cemetery houses the final resting places of many Victorian industrial pioneers who shaped the transportation industry, particularly in bicycle and automobile manufacturing.
The cemetery maintains different operating hours between seasons, opening from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM during summer and 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM in winter.
The restoration project has revitalized the Anglican Chapel, raised promenade, and old entrance while preserving the original architectural elements of the site.
