Stoke Damerel churchyard became full and was closed in 1871. The St Aubyn Estate, as lords of the manor, exchanged some glebe land fronting St Michael's Terrace and Fitzroy Terrace for land owned by the manor at Milehouse, in order to open a new cemetery.

Milehouse Cemetery was opened in 1871 and consecrated in October 1876. In 1967 the cemetery was acquired by compulsory purchase order for the Central Electricity Generating Board, after many years of neglect as more and more burials took place at Weston Mill Cemetery. A few of the graves were removed and some remains were interred at Efford Cemetery.
