The Egyptian Gate
The original design of the Sheffield General Cemetery was in the Egyptian style, opened in 1836, when the British Empire has strong trading and military links with Egypt. It was the first Egyptian-style cemetery in Britain and this gateway is listed Grade II*.

Samuel Holberry's grave. Sheffield General Cemetery
Samuel Holberry was a young man when he died in York Castle in 1842. As a leading activist in the growing Chartist movement, some would say he was a political prisoner. We need to ask why an estimated 50,000 people attended his funeral when Sheffield's population at the time was just over 100,000. Perhaps he represented the hope of better things to come for ordinary working people.
