This cemetery was opened in 1840, initially to serve the needs of the 'Old Hebrew Congregation' (aka 'Englisher Shul') in Leeds. Over the years various synagogues in Leeds have used the cemetery as constituent synagogues within the United Hebrew Congregation. There are more than 6100 burials in the United Hebrew Congregation Cemetery, including 28 war graves registered with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The four Jewish cemetery locations in the Metropolitan Borough of Leeds are Beth Hamedrash Hagadol Jewish New Cemetery, Hilltop Jewish Cemetery, New Farnley Jewish Cemetery, and United Hebrew Congregation Cemetery. A portion of the Harehills Cemetery operated by the Leeds City Council had also been set aside as a Jewish burial ground for use by the Sinai Synagogue.
