Designed 1865 by John Hall Arthur Blomfield [see article] in Gothic style and located near the west gate from Fulham Palace Road.

The lodge, which was the residence of the cemetery superintendent, has the Bishopric of London Arms of crossed swords and a mitre on the exterior wall at first floor level. You will find the grave of the first superintendent, Thomas Furner, directly behind the lodge (photo).

The lodge was sold in 2014 and renovated as a private residence. The renovation featured on Grand Designs series 18 (see Tatler article or watch on Channel 4) and for a time it could be found on Airbnb.

Most of these are original Victorian features, although the outer perimeter piers have been replaced with exact replicas.

Fulham cemetery is bounded by cast iron railings on the west side along Fulham Palace Road, the north side along Lillie Rec, and the south side along the backs of houses.  The railings to the cemetery fronting onto Fulham Palace Road are structures of merit.

The avenue to Munster Road, added in 1874, and the east side of the south extension, are bounded by brick walls. The walls are in poor condition. They have been surveyed by the council and funding is being sought for their renovation. One area is fenced off as it is unsafe.

Also designed in 1865 by John Hall Arthur Blomfield [see article]. It stood just south of the main avenue, opposite the west lodge, where the waiting room is today.

The Nonconformist Chapel is shown in all the old maps we've found until the 1944-73 Ordnance Survey. We don't know when it was demolished, but from aerial photos we can tell it was between 1949 and 1966.

In Margravine Cemetery, we know the second chapel was demolished in 1953.

The cemetery was extended to Munster Road in 1874. There was a lodge by the Munster Road gate, as shown in the 1897 Ordnance Survey map. The date of its demolition is not known but it was also gone by 1966. The wall by the gate still shows the outline of a building in this location (photo).

The architect for the extension, including the new entrance, was J G Hall, which may have led to him being misattributed as the cemetery's principal architect – see our article.

There were 2 mortuary buildings, both shown in the 1897 map: 

• The first, against the east wall of the 1880 extension, was built in 1880. 

• The Parish Mortuary was opposite the east lodge by the Munster Road Gate. According to Fulham Old and New, C J Feret, 1900, it was built by Mr. R. Cox in 1888-9.

Today you can discern the location of both mortuaries by the different brickwork of the walls where they stood.

In this aerial photo, taken in April 1949, the Nonconformist Chapel, both mortuaries, and the east lodge can all still be seen. This is the only photo we have of these structures.

This small building stands next to the lodge, where the Nonconformist Chapel used to be. From this 1907 map it looks like it may have been attached to the rear of the chapel.

Since 2024 it is used by Fulham Cemetery Friends with the council's permission to store gardening tools. 

It was badly overgrown and the roof and door needed repair.

The flowerbeds and paving at the Fulham Palace Road gate were added fairly recently, after 2012. (See earlier photo on Google Street View.) This was done to prevent unauthorised parking here. Previously the entire crescent by the entrance was asphalt-paved and accessible to vehicles. 

The flowerbeds are planted with tulips (seen in spring), and flowering sage, which feeds pollinators all summer.
