Eastcote Lane Cemetery
by IanAWood
Eastcote Lane Cemetery was established by Roxeth Burial Board and opened in 1922. It later transferred to Harrow UDC when the Burial Board disbanded. Now surrounded by suburban housing, the small cemetery has modest headstones set among the grass with trees predominantly along the Eastcote Lane boundary. At the entrance are rustic wooden gates and a picturesque red brick lodge with small turret. Around the lodge a number of palm trees and conifers have been planted. A central tarmac path runs from the entrance, crossed partway along its length by another path, the circular junction surrounded by 4 trees.
At the time of my visit the site was suffering from flooding and the Lodge was dilapidated if not derelict. This is a shame as on the whole Harrow Council manage and maintain the Cemeteries in the borough well.
