All listed HYATT burials at Abney Park Cemetary. This was the first wholly nondenominational garden cemetery in Europe, which was operational as a place of burial from 1840 to 1974/8. Abney Park in Stoke Newington, north-east London, UK is an historic parkland originally laid out in the early 18th century by Lady Mary Abney and Dr. Isaac Watts, and the neighbouring Hartopp family. In 1840 it became a non-denominational garden cemetery, semi-public park arboretum, and educational institute, which was widely celebrated as an example of its time. Abney Park, the London Congregationalists' pioneering non-denominational place of rest that reflected new world burial ideas at Mount Auburn in Massachusetts, opened as a model garden cemetery in 1840. Its approach was based on the Congregationalists' role in the London Missionary Society, whose 'fundamental principle' was, likewise, to develop a wholly non-denominational exemplar. At first there were many links between Abney Park Cemetery and the LMS but this nonconformist (and in particular Congregationalist) period came to a close in the early 1880s when a strictly commercial general cemetery company was formed and the land at Abney Park was made over to the new enterprise. Though the park had not been formalised in 1840 as a cemetery through Act of Parliament or consecration, and Church faculty law never applied - burial ground use, had, by the 1880s, already come to predominate over the wider landscape, access and educational objects of its founders. The founders' financial and legal model had unfortunately not been as radical as their objects had required. Although the original directors also referred to themselves as trustees, having established a trust deed under which they sought to preserve the park in perpetuity, they let the park for operational purposes to the same individuals as a conventional Joint Stock Company (in common with most private cemeteries of the period), rather than perhaps breaking the mould as a provident society. The weakness of the model lay in the detail however, but this was not evident for thirty years. An eventual successful prosecution by the Crown, ruled that despite their unusual business model and the way in which plots were seemingly sold as freehold land, the legal arrangements were actually inadequate to achieve a different status from any other commercial cemetery, either for the company or the registered keepers of plots. In consequence, company income could not be held in trust for the park, but was to be treated as for any other commercial profit-making company and taxed accordingly. Eventually sold on the open market to a wholly commercially-minded general cemetery company in the 1880s, established with a similar name, three new cemeteries were founded in London's suburbs or nearby countryside. From then onwards standardised park-like landscaping principles came to be applied at Abney Park, replacing much of the unique arboretum planting.
