Mount Nod Huguenot Cemetery, situated in Wandsworth, Greater London. This most interesting, but neglected cemetery sits between two major roads at East Hill in Wandsworth. A memorial, erected in 1911, records the history of the Huguenots and their departure from France in 1685. As there were some 50,000 Huguenots evicted from France, it is likely that many are buried anonymously at Wandsworth, though many names listed are English. The adjacent road is called Huguenot Place.


The following are known to be buried in this cemetery:-


Francis Hunt, citizen of London, who died in 1687; Peter Paggen, Esq. (1720); Nicholas Garrett, Esq. (1726); Dame Isabeau Bories de Montauban en Guyenne, epouse de Jean de Comarque, Ecuyer (1731); James Baudouin, Esq. born at Nismes in France, "who fled from tyranny and persecution in 1685," and died in 1739, aged 91; Mr. Melancthon Strong (1750), and others of his family; Samuel John, Esq. (1759); Mr. David Asterley (1761), and others of his family; William Vile, Gent. (1767); James Poumies, Esq. (1769); John Higginson, Esq. (1770); Malachi Hawtayne, Esq. (1772); the Reverend Evan Evans (1772); George Ward, Esq. of the county of York (1777); Matthew Green, Esq. (1785); Samuel Goodman, Esq. (1787); and Jane Betsy, daughter of Capt. James Williamson, who died in 1791.


It should not be assumed that this cemetery is only for Huguenots - it was consecrated five years before the exodus.
