Description
Twentieth century cemetery with woodland gardens at the Chilterns Crematorium
Opened in 1966, contains wooded gardens with rose beds (B1).
A fine example of the grounds for a mid-C20 rural crematorium ensemble designed to incorporate, respond to and fit sensitively into the rolling Chiltern setting. The naturalistic style includes a large proportion of existing woodland, ornamented with further woody planting, together with scattered lawns which are threaded through with the drive and paths. The main building was sensitively extended in 2005 with some of the layout altered including reworking of the apron in front of the buildings, and also a new car park, but the key elements and design ethos survive well. See report for detail (B2).
