The cemetery opened in 1868 and was the first cemetery in Wednesbury. The total cost was 10,000pounds, a very large sum at the time.
Originally there was a chapel (now demolished and replaced by green space) which was divided into two parts, one for the established church and one for the free churches, each could hold about eighty people.
The chapel was designed by Samuel Horton.
Within the cemetery is a war memorial, a significant number of WW1 and WW2 military graves and a monument to the civilian victims of the one and only WW1 zeppelin raid on the town which took place on January 1st 1916.
