Radnor Street Cemetery is the final resting place of 33,000 Swindonians, including 104 who lie in official Commonwealth War Graves. When it became Swindon’s first municipal cemetery in 1881, its designer was already planning for the day when it would be closed to new burials, and that is why it is laid out on the principle of a country estate. The chapel, built in the then popular Gothic Revivalist style, occupied the central position, with meandering paths in-between the five burial sections. Trees and shrubs were planted around the edges to complete the country park theme.
