The
cemetery is situated a short distance away from the church at
Boothtown, Halifax. It was consecrated in 1856. The church, buildings
and cemetery were funded by a local philanthropist Colonel Edward
Ackroyd. The lower half is closed and the upper is classed as open. The
Friends group was formed in 2003 being concerned at the years of
neglect and vandalism in the cemetery.
