The cemetery was opened in 1860 on land purchased from the Reverend Thomas Albut. Jeremiah Marriott and Son was appointed as architect and the firm built the neo-Gothic ashlar dressed stone fountain in 1859 [Grade 11 listed]. The group are endeavouring to preserve a number of interesting monuments.
