Brookwood Cemetery
Brookwood Cemetery
Founded in 1852, Brookwood, or the London Necropolis, had its own railway connection to London. Once the world's largest cemetery, it contains some 240,000 graves, among them those of Saxon king Edward the Martyr (d. 978), American-born painter John Singer Sargent (d. 1925) and novelist Dame Rebecca West (d.1983).
Brookwood also contains a First World War American cemetery, Britain's oldest Muslim cemetery and a Zoroastrian burial ground.
