Following the Public Health Act of 1848, areas of open land on the outskirts of the city were designated as cemeteries. The "Downhill" parishes grouped together to purchase land along the Washingborough Road. The new cemetery was to cater for both Anglicans and Dissenters. The burials were segregated, and, although the two chapel buildings (designed by Michael Drury) look superficially similar, their designs incorporate many differences which represent differences in doctrine. {2}
