Entrance gate to Yarmouth Road cemetery
The cemetery is also known as Thorpe cemetery and this was the entrance into the eastern section which until 1903 had been used by the Norfolk Lunatic Asylum. All the asylum's graves have been re-used and the dead buried in them are now anonymous. The cemetery was opened in 1859. The two acres of land had been purchased for £500, with half the amount having been raised by voluntary rate and the remainder was contributed from the funds of the Lunatic Asylum, situated a short distance further to the east, to which one acre was appropriated. The two sections are separated by a low brick wall.
