Mill Lane, a reverse L-shaped unsurfaced track, links Sutton Road (the B6026) and Common Road (B6027). On the left is a secondary entrance to Huthwaite Cemetery. The gates are open during its opening hours but only to pedestrians as vehicules are no longer permitted to use the track. Huthwaite Cemetery was formally opened in 1888 to cater for the burial of local people once the graveyard of the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sutton was full. In 1912, and again in 1915, Huthwaite Urban District Council purchased additional land (seen here) on the site of a former farm, Mill House Farm. The farm house faced this lane and parts of this stone wall once served as one of the farm's boundary walls. Use of the word "mill" stems from the existence of a windmill on top of the hill that forms the main part of the cemetery.
