A short section of Cherrytree Lane (i.e. in the distance and to the left) allows for vehicular access to this cemetery. To the right however, the lane is a footpath running parallel with Yeomans Way, a residential road. Prior to the 1940s this site and much of the surrounding area was arable farmland, but around that time the land was sold to the local Council to allow for the building of "council houses", with a proviso that this plot was set aside for the creation of a non-conformist cemetery.
