The town council website states that the first (and only) municipal cemetery in Stratford was laid out here in 1881 as part of the Victorian concern to improve the urban environment in all its many aspects, particularly as the parish churchyard at Holy Trinity was almost full. The intention was that burial services would continue to be held at Holy Trinity Church and then the cortege would proceed here via Sanctus Street and Evesham Road, at that time the main access route into Stratford from the west.
