What secrets lie beneath our feet? Here at Rippleside Cemetery, also known as Barking Cemetery, history whispers from the weathered tombstones. Rippleside Cemetery opened in 1886, a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling heart of London. The cemetery chapel, a Grade II listed building, immediately captures your attention. Designed by Charles J. Dawson, the chapel stands as a miniature masterpiece, a scaled-down parish church in the Perpendicular style. Step inside, and you’ll find a treasure trove of Victorian craftsmanship. The hammer-beam roof, a rarity for a cemetery chapel, speaks to the craftsmanship and artistry of the era. Look closely at the stained-glass windows. They don’t just bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors. They tell tales – stories of Christ, the saints, and even a poignant tribute to the young daughter of a former Burial Board chairman. Rippleside Cemetery isn’t just a resting place. It’s a living testament to the artistry, faith, and stories of those who came before us.
