Rectory Lane Cemetery, Berkhamsted

Unmarked plot Margaret Rose Bladon (1933-1934) Margaret Rose was born in April 1933 and was placed in the Barnardo’s Home in Barkingside, Ilford. This was known as the Girls’ Village and housed the children in small groups in cottages grouped around a central green. The infants lived in the “Babies’ Green” to one side. More about the Village and a plan of the site as it would have been when Margaret was there can be found at http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/BarkingsideDB/ Sadly, little Margaret Rose did not live long to experience village life. She died in March 1921 and was buried 21 March 1934, aged 23 months.
