The cemetery was opened in 1854 after the Burials Act of 1852 – 1857 allowed Burial Boards to be set up either as separate bodies or as part of the Borough Councils. This was in response to rapid expansion of the population in cities during the Industrial Revolution. Local church graveyards could no longer cope with the growth in the number of the burials.
This monument is of grey polished stone. It is engraved on one side of the plinth and the column is plain with no embellishments.
Some trees have grown since the column was erected and the top of it is partly hidden amongst the tree branches.
