A guided tour of Loxley Cemetery by the Friends of Loxley Cemetery

There are some magnificent and interesting monuments in the cemetery, as well as 22 victims of the Great Flood of 1864 and a connection to the Titanic. The cemetery contains over 5000 graves.

Loxley chapel and cemetery date back to the late 18th Century and the cemetery is still open for burials in existing plots, although no further plots are being sold. The chapel closed in 1993 with the building gradually deteriorating into a ruinous state over the years. The churchyard, which surrounds the chapel on all sides, had become seriously overgrown.

The Friends of Loxley Cemetery have spent the last 4 or so years clearing the very neglected cemetery, and it’s now almost all visible. The chapel has a long history; it was constructed in 1787, with the first recorded baptism being in 1798 and the first recorded burial in 1806.

Please bring water and sunscreen, especially if it is forecast to be hot / sunny.
