Barkingside Cemetery opened in 1923 when the first burial took place. In 1954 when the cemetery had become full an extension was opened on the other side of Longwood Gardens and this became Barkingside Garden of Rest. Barkingside Cemetery is laid out on a simple grid with wide paths and some covered seats. A small hedged plot on the north east side is reserved for former members of Dr Barnardo's Village Home, which had been established in 1875. At that time Barkingside was a small village. This was a freezing January day where early fog had cleared to mist.
