In 1855, the town council of Great Yarmouth purchased 10 acres of ground adjoining St Nicholas' churchyard, to be used as a cemetery. The area was surrounded by a high wall built from flint, with the work completed in July 1856. The first known burial dates from August 1858, with the latest known burial dated to 1936. The cemetery is located within the larger cemetery complex operated by the Great Yarmouth Borough Council and is used by several different Christian denominations. The cemetery consists of two sections - is bordered by St Nicholas' church and priory in the south and by Nelson Road North in the east. The old cemetery is separated from the new cemetery by Kitchener Road which bisects the two. In the north-western corner of the old cemetery there is a small Jewish burial ground. It is surrounded on all four sides by a high flint wall, and an equally high and sturdy wooden door fronts the Kitchener Road entrance. It is locked.
