Abney Park is a historic parkland originally laid out in the early 18th century by Lady Mary Abney and Dr. Isaac Watts, and the Hartopp family. In 1840 it became a non-denominational garden cemetery, a semi-public park arboretum, and an educational institute. It is one of the Magnificent Seven London cemeteries. As of the year 2000, 196,843 burials had taken place.
