Undercliffe cemetery is a large Victorian cemetery, one of the first created after The Burial Acts of 1852-1857 enabled Burial Boards to be set up either as separate bodies or as part of the Borough Councils. This one was set up as a private company after rapid population explosion during the industrial revolution led to existing church cemeteries running out of room.
It is now run as a charity and although still used has restricted burials.

The cemetery has a range of different styles of grave markers, with a group of larger ones arranged alongside an east to west promenade. This obelisk is towards the eastern end of the promenade.
