Description:One of the oldest garden cemeteries in London, the park is now a nature reserve, place of memory and outdoor learning centre. The listed frontage includes the earliest example in Europe of cemetery buildings designed in the 'Egyptian Revival' style, comprising two Temple Lodges, pylons and gates. In the heart of the park is the dramatic Abney Park Chapel with a careful balance of Gothic and Romanesque features. The chapel includes rare ten-part (botanical) rose windows, and an elaborately decorated south face with castellated turrets.
