Willesden New Cemetery is a civic cemetery at Franklyn Road, Willesden, in the London Borough of Brent. It opened in 1891 and includes a memorial to local civilians who died in World War II.[2][3] It previously included chapels, now demolished, by Charles H Worley.[1][3]
The cemetery contains war graves of 130 Commonwealth service personnel who died in World War I and 121 who died in World War II. Most of these graves are scattered throughout the cemetery apart from 39 World War II graves forming an informal group, while a Screen Wall memorial lists personnel from both wars whose graves could not be individually marked by headstones.[4]
