least 7,950 bodies. These were packed into 220 large containers, each containing 26 adults plus children, and shipped on the London Necropolis Railway to Brookwood for reburial, along with at least some of the existing headstones from the cemetery. At least 21 London burial grounds were relocated to Brookwood via the railway, along with numerous others relocated by road following the railway's closure. Churches whose graves were relocated included: St Michael, Crooked Lane (demolished 1831, burial ground cleared 1987) St Antholin, Budge Row (demolished 1875) All-Hallows-the-Great (demolished 1894) St Magnus-the-Martyr (remains removed from crypt 1894) All-Hallows-the-Less (destroyed in the Great Fire of London, remains removed 1896) St Michael Wood Street (demolished 1897) St Mildred, Bread Street (remains removed 1898, church destroyed in London Blitz 1941) St George Botolph Lane (demolished 1904) St Marylebone Parish Church (remains from crypt removed 1987) St James's Church, Piccadilly (remains removed from St. James's Garden, established 1878 on the former burial grounds of the church, from 2017-2020 due to HS2 terminal construction at Euston Station) The unconsecrated Cross Bones Graveyard in Southwark (closed 1853, many remains removed in successive years) Brookwood Cemetery and cremation In 1878, the LNC sold an isolated piece of its land at Brookwood, close to St John's village, to the Cremation Society of Great Britain, on which they built Woking Crematorium, the first in Britain, in 1879. While the LNC never built its own crematorium, in 1910, Lord Cadogan decided he no longer wanted to be interred in the mausoleum he had commissioned at Brookwood. This building, the largest mausoleum in the cemetery, was bought by the LNC, fitted with shelves and niches to hold urns, and used as a dedicated columbarium from then on. After 1945 cremation, up to that time an uncommon practice, became increasingly popular in Britain. In 1946, the LNC obtained consent to build their own crematorium on a section of the Nonconformist cemetery which had been set aside for pauper burials, but chose not to proceed. Instead, in 1945, the LNC began the construction of the Glades of Remembrance, a wooded area dedicated to the burial of cremated remains. These were dedicated by Henry Montgomery Campbell, Bishop of Guildford in 1950. Intentionally designed for informality, traditional gravestones and memorials were prohibited, and burials were marked only by small stones. In the next decade the cemetery came closest to having its own crematorium. Following the closure of
