LEEDS CIVIC TRUST
LEEDS GENERAL CEMETERY
Alarmed by the insanitary and overcrowded state
of the Parish Church graveyard and bodysnatching
the Leeds elite bought £25 shares in the
Leeds General Cemetery Company.
It acquired St. George's Fields and created
this fine private cemetery., where many
Leeds worthies lie.
Architect: John Clark
Opened 1835
"The Leeds General Cemetery (also known as Woodhouse Cemetery, Woodhouse Lane Cemetery and, since its closure in 1969, St George's Fields) is a former cemetery in Woodhouse, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is now within the campus of the University of Leeds and has been landscaped and kept as an open space. Some original monuments and the cemetery chapel remain."
