Carlisle Cemetery


Carlisle Cemetry is located on Dalston Road, with an entrance on Richardson Street in Carlisle. The cemetery was originally laid out in 1855 with offices, chapels, and lodges designed J.W.H. & J.M. Hay of Liverpool. The cemetery covers an area of over 60 acres, and is an important green space for wildlife. Carlisle Crematorium is located at the south-west of the cemetery, with entrances on Dalston Road. The Cemetery is a Grade II listed Park and Garden on the National Heritage List for England.
Carlisle Joint Burial Board purchased land on Spital Moor in 1854 and a plan was prepared by the City Surveyor, Hugh McKie in 1855 (Perriam, nd). Lodges and chapels were erected in 1855-6 to the designs of J W H & J M Hay. The cost was £14,000. The site was extended to the south of the Fairy Beck in 1885-7 (Brooks 1989) and again to the south in the mid to late-C20. (Historic England)
