Lavender Hill Burial Board was set up in 1871 and opened the 9 acre Lavender Hill Cemetery in 1872, with two chapels, one Anglican and the other Nonconformist, as well as a stone lodge at the main entrance. Lavender Hill is so-called after the lavender that was once grown in this area. The cemetery was enlarged in 1897 by three acres, and has since been further enlarged. The western Nonconformist chapel is no longer in use and became a store.
