Ipswich Old Cemetery is a traditional Victorian style cemetery which opened in 1855. In 1995 it was classed as a conservation area which includes the buildings, memorials and natural habitat, by the Conservation Advisory Panel. Since then, the New and Lawn cemeteries have also received similar status and in 2001 all three were added to the English Heritage Register of Parks & Gardens of Special Historic Interest. In 2009 the Old, New and Lawn cemetery were awarded Grade II listed status. The Old Cemetery has specific areas that are designated for different beliefs such as Muslim, Jewish, Quaker, CoE and Non-conformist.
