Description
Harrow Weald Cemetery is adjacent to All Saints' Churchyard and was established in 1937. An avenue of silver birch flanks the main tarmac drive from the gates and entrance on Uxbridge Road. Either side of the drive the graves are set among grass with a row of conifers to the eastern boundary, and various ornamental, evergreen trees are planted among the graves. At the back of the site is a newer section for graves, and woodland to the north. There are some fine trees, including large Sequoia and other mature trees. At the entrance on Clamp Hill is a small brick lodge that houses Harrow's Cemetery Office.

Nearby parks and gardens
All Saints Church was built as a simple stone church and was later extended. The walled burial ground was in use from 1845/6 and contains a number of fine trees, including an old yew. At the entrance is a lych-gate, from where a lime avenue leads to the church. Among those buried here are Edmund Crosse and Thomas Blackwell, who built up the famous business that bears their name. To the south of Uxbridge Road All Saints' Churchyard Extension or New Cemetery was opened in 1884.
This site is a vestige of the C19th landscape park of Harrow Weald Park, a property built in 1805, prior to which it formed part of Harrow Weald Common. The house was subsequently demolished by the local council and homes for the elderly were built. Today much of the remaining site is largely built over with high quality housing, although ornamental woodland, a lake known as Squirrels Lake and notable specimen trees survive, with fine mature trees found along Brookshill Road.
The land for Harrow Weald Recreation Ground was donated to the parish in 1895 by Thomas Blackwell JP, as recorded in a stone plaque set over the entrance arch of the small brick and timber lodge on the corner of High Road. The recreation ground was extended in 1937 when Harrow Council purchased the lodge and garden of Belmont, following the death of its owner Charles James Ward, who was a member of the parish council and benefactor of Harrow Hospital.
