About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery lies to the north-east of Wednesbury town centre on the A468, Wood Green Road.The post code shown is the nearest, as the cemetery itself has no post code.

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.
