Home / UK Cemeteries / Yorkshire / York City [14]

The York City Cemetery was founded in 1837 as a private concern and covers 24 acres just outside the ancient city's walls. It is now managed by a locally operated trust, after falling into sad disrepair in the 1960's and 1970's. It is a compelling and overwhelming place, heavily overgrown but rich with spectacular 19th and 20th century stonework. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Cemetery,_York
