In April 1855 the Burial Board agreed to purchase ground for a cemetery from the Hospital of St Mary Magdalene. The designer was Middleton and Prichett of Darlington. The first burials took place in 1857. Initially known as St Andrew's and Jesmond Cemetery the name is given as St Andrew's Cemetery on the 1861 Ordnance Survey map.
