Wandsworth Old Burial Ground, now often known as Garratt Lane Old Burial Ground. It was consecrated as early as 1808 and had fallen into disuse by the turn of the Twentieth Century, surprisingly early. As with Mount Nod, which is a short distance away, it has connections with the Huguenot community. It has been laid to grass as a public amenity, but there are still memorials to be seen, including members of the well-known family of Chatting, a corruption of the Huguenot name Chaterlaine. Near the Chattings are memorials to members of the Bowman and Rucker families, of which latter family, we are particularly interested in Sigismond (junior), who had an azalea named after him around 1843.
