The Anglican Chapel at Highland Road Cemetery was consecrated by the bishop on 27 Oct 1854. Burials took place from the beginning of November and the former burials grounds in the parish were closed.
The population of Portsmouth was increasing rapidly, and the Burial Board began to seek extensions in 1870. The Anglican portion was consecrated on 28 Nov 1879. 2½ acres were left un-consecrated, 1¼ acres being allotted to Roman Catholics. The size of the cemetery was now 18 acres.
Highland Road Cemetery contains 277 war graves from the first and second world wars. The cemetery was closed for burials in 1956 except where space was available in family graves.
