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 has a plinth around 5 feet tall surmounted by a short broken column that has a wreath round the top. There are family plaques on two sides of the monument.
