Abney Park Trust is pleased to announce that the works to restore the lid of the slate sarcophagus for William Williams, near the Church St entrance, have now been completed by Orbis Conservation.

Abney Park Trust has cleaned the Grade II listed memorial and had it restored to its former glory thanks to a four-figure donation from TimeLine, a learning project charity.

Restoration work in Abney Park Cemetery is finally complete on the well-loved monument to Issac Watts, one of Stoke Newington’s most notable former residents.
