The General Cemetery opened in 1836 with a dissenters' extension added in 1865. However, the Society has recorded the memorial inscriptions (not the burial details), so the earliest date can reliably make out is 1801. The cemetery closed in 1923, with only further burials being allowed in existing graves.
