Nottingham General Cemetery

It's a quiet place to go on a lunchtime walk, it was unfortunate that the last time I was there, there were some drunk people sleeping around the graves which is never good to see. Other than that it is impressive in it's scale.

Classic cemetery which is in rough condition - but the broken and tilting tombstones are both haunting and picturesque. Worth a visit for a stroll though some other visitors could be considered a bit "scary" as well - so visit with a friend!

Very peaceful- well maintained and generally pretty clean and tidy.

Love this place. Wild and sprawling in a picturesque way, with a wide variety of trees and charmingly higgledy-piggledy slanting gravestones. I used to take atmospheric evening walks here, before the council significantly reduced the opening hours. Also unhappy that they have removed the two fallen trees that used to serve as sheltered sitting spaces (and were surely valued by the animal residents as well).

Picturesque Grade II listed cemetery established 1836, with over 150,000 internments. It’s a little overgrown, but that is often part of a wild cemetery’s mystique and beauty.

At the time of opening a single grave was available for 7s 6d (equivalent to £35 today) and a brick grave or vault for £10, 10s (£967 today).

There were originally two mortuary chapels, one for Anglicans, the other for dissenters, but both fell into disrepair and were demolished in 1958.

If you found my review or photos interesting please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

Old style cemetery

Didn't venture too far from the gate, I was amazed to see so many WW1 war graves , on studying there were several with 2 or more servicemen interred together, and some had died after the end of the war.
I guess either died from wounds, or of influenza.

A number of my ancestors are here but cannot find the graves as they have moved the stones which is a shame
