Landscape record 0764300000 - Dadford Burial Ground

A late C19 rural Anglican parish burial ground, well preserved, with strong links to the adjacent Stowe park and its late C19 and early C20 owners. It is focussed on a central polychrome brick chapel by the Clerk of Works to the Stowe landowner, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham. The layout was designed by the Duke’s Steward and was closely overseen by the Duke. Planting includes mature specimen trees typical of late C19 cemeries including yews lining the drive and main path, and limes at the boundaries. The unconsecrated oval forecourt is an unusual feature for such a modest site, as it takes up a considerable proportion of the area. See report for detail (B2).
