Muslim Burial Ground, Horsell Common, Cemetery and memorial garden in Horsell Common, Woking, Great Britain.

The Muslim Burial Ground features stone walls, a chhatri pavilion, and a reflecting pond surrounded by Himalayan Birch trees in geometric patterns.

Built in 1917, this cemetery provided burial spaces for 27 Muslim soldiers from the British Indian Army who died during World War I and II.

The memorial incorporates Islamic architectural elements and horticultural designs, reflecting Muslim burial traditions and military service recognition methods.

Visitors can access the memorial through Horsell Common's maintained pathways, while interpretive panels explain the site's military and religious significance.

The cemetery's transformation into a Peace Garden in 2015 maintained its original architectural features while adding new water features and garden elements.
