Bromley Hill Cemetery

Bromley Hill Cemetery was opened in 1907 (some sources give the date as 1905). It contains a chapel in the Perpendicular Gothic style designed by local architect Evelyn Hellicar (1862-1929). The lodge by the same architect has since been replaced with a modern council house. The cemetery has a simple path layout, and among the trees are cedar, fir and silver birch. The monument to Edward Fuller (d.1935) is unusual, a besuited figure 'standing in his best suit as an angel guides him, presumably, to heaven.'  Among those buried here were Sir Edward Campbell (d.1945), MP for Bromley; Soho gang leader 'Italian Albert' Dimes (d.1972), and P/O Roy Marchand (d.1940), a Battle of Britain pilot whose photograph was used on RAF recruitment posters. There was originally a large memorial on his grave but in 1971 it was moved to the London Air Museum. The cemetery, now full, has a lawn section and a memorial garden. 

Evelyn Hellicar (1862-1929) was the son of Arthur Hellivar who was vicar of Bromley from 1865-1905. Evelyn undertook works in a number of churches and other buildings in Bromley, including repairs to the parish church, St Mark's Church and the War Memorial Cross for Holy Trinity Church, Bromley Commo (q.q.v.). He became Architect of the Diocese of Rochester.

Bromley's cemeteries have been managed on behalf of Bromley Council by idverde UK since 2008. In June 2015 idverde was contracted by Bromley Council for the management of the borough's parks, green spaces and countryside service, a relationship that was extended in April 2019 for a further 16 years.
