Viewed from Whitchurch Road looking towards the cemetery chapel. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4218073 An information board near the cemetery entrance states that the cemetery dates from 1891, located on a 2.7 acre meadow land site. The chapel and lychgate were built soon after the cemetery opened, and 80 lime trees were planted. The yews http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4218098 flanking the central path were planted in 1892. No new burials have taken place here since 1975, other than into existing family graves.
