Moravian Cemetery
Also known as Fetter Lane Moravian Burial Ground, Sharons Garden Cemetery, Moravian Burial Ground
Chelsea, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London, England
The Burial Ground is located in the grounds of Lindsey House in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, just off Milman Street (near Moravian Place), near Cheyne Walk and Beaufort Street.
Burials began at the burial ground in 1751. The ground was only lightly used, with deep burials. For this reason, it was specifically exempted from the Act for closing London cemeteries of 1855. Interments were stopped in 1888, although it may still be used for ashes.
The Moravians generally call their burial grounds 'God's Acre'. The Fetter Lane Congregation of the Moravian Church is also known as the Fetter Lane Society. They originally worshipped in Fetter Lane in the City, and then in Lindsey House, but this was sold in the eighteenth century. The Burial Ground was built on the site of Beaufort House stables. The replacement church was bombed in the Second World War. The Fetter Lane Moravian Church is now located on the King's Road and maintains the burial ground and chapel in its original location.
The plot is enclosed by walls and is divided into four portions, for married and unmarried men and women. It can be visited on Wednesday afternoon.
The majority of headstones are unreadable.
