The land for the town's cemetery was donated by local lace manufacturer Joseph Fearfield in 1880; his name is commemorated on a plaque above the archway. He also paid for the construction of the chapels. The cemetery is now operated by Broxtowe Borough Council. Local hero Walter Parker, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the Gallipoli campaign of 1916, is buried here.
