Full Description
Old Cemetery.
(S1) lists as grade two star (regional importance).
Laid out 1855 after Market Gates cemetery closed. North area reserved for Jews and Dissenters, south area for Anglicans. Jewish cemetery is still separate. Pathways etc. were restricted to the two sections with no inter connection with each other or with the churchyard. This was altered between 1875 and 1887 when connecting paths were made. Many fine monuments in southern area though some vandalism. Two circles planted with three holmoaks in such a way as to suggest a fourth has vanished, as symbolic of death. Original walks and circles removed in places and used for burials but trees and planting reflect the first plan.
See (S1) for details.
E. Rose (NLA), 26 February 1998.
