St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery is located at Kensal Green in London.
Established in 1858, the 29 acre (120,000 m²) site was built just up
the hill from the much larger Kensal Green Cemetery. It is the final
resting place for more than 165,000 individuals of the Roman Catholic
faith and features a memorial to Belgian soldiers of the First World War
who were wounded in combat and evacuated to England but died there in
hospital.
