As seen from the A3 Battersea Rise.

To relieve pressure on the churchyards, Battersea Cemetery was opened in 1860 by St Mary's Burial Board in an area that was once part of Wandsworth Common. A number of tombs carry inscriptions relating to railway deaths at nearby Clapham Junction. One to Henry Blunden who died in 1871 aged 22 says "All you that come my grave to see, oh think of death and remember me, Just in my prime and fully skilled, when on the railway I was killed." There is an attractive display of snowdrops and crocuses in the cemetery. St Mark's Church on Battersea Rise can be seen in the distance. It was soon realised that St Mary's Cemetery would be insufficient in the future and so Battersea New Cemetery was brought into use some thirty years later. It is now known as Morden Cemetery - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3439066
