- Notable
'Residents' -
Around 300,000 souls are remembered
in our lovely cemetery. We aim to list below all the interesting people we have
found at Arnos Vale Cemetery because a number of visitors have
requested this kind of information. You can find out more about
some of these people through this website or from publications on sale at
the Cemetery.
In many cases
individuals qualify to be included in more than one group (e.g.
Industrialists and local politicians) but they are only shown in one.
So far we have 147 names here.
This list is still being
compiled but if you would like suggest additions or amendments please email me -
Webmaster
Some of the names (blue/underlined) have links which take you to to another website where
there is more information about the person.
