As it stood in 1920
What Brookwood Cemetery looked like in its prime.
A broad, straight tree‑lined avenue of tall conifers and sequoias runs between narrow asphalt carriageways and grassy verges, giving onto lawns filled with rows of gravestones, scattered mausolea and small chapel buildings. Paths and low stone curbs define formal plots; white uniform military headstones mark separate war sections. Materials are mostly stone and slate monuments, timber and brick chapels, and planted evergreen understorey; the site reads as an organised, park‑like Victorian necropolis at full maturity.
