Introduction
The parish churchyard of St Mary the Virgin Great Ilford is now closed to new burials, but has a moderate collection of early-19th-century headstones and some fine lime trees. In 1863 the Vicar's wish to extend the churchyard was opposed by some parishioners. Today it adjoins Buckingham Road Cemetery, established by Ilford Burial Board in 1881 and originally known as Great Ilford Cemetery.
