Botley Cemetery, which is also called Oxford Cemetery, opened in 1894 and is one of the four remaining cemeteries still opened and serving the Oxford area. Outside the military graves, the markers are very simple. The cemetery is surrounded with a stone and wrought iron fence. A two-story gatehouse is to the left of the gate. Pathways lined with trees run through the matured grounds. Within the cemetery, there is a chapel with stained-glass windows. The cemetery has 150 military graves from World War I, including one grave belonging to an army nurse. The cemetery has over 500 military graves from World War II, including one grave belonging to a female, who was killed in a Royal Air Force plane crashed. There are 70 military graves of other nations including Belgians, Czechs, Dutch, Germans, Italians, and Poles, as well as that of the only Greek soldier buried in the whole of the United Kingdom. With a large angel monument, there is an area for stillborn or neonatal deaths, which is maintained by the National Sands Organization. There is a section in the back that has no graves.
