Our congratulations go to Brookwood, Highgate, and Kensal Green cemeteries who have all been upgraded by English Heritage to Grade I Historic Parks & Gardens recognising them as of “international significance”. This is a great achievement and has involved a lot of hard work by the various Friends groups and Societies. The Register of Historic Parks and Gardens lists nearly 1,450 sites, of which 140 have Grade I status
