The cemetery of three acres was opened in 1854 in the north end of the town with two small mortuary chapels and consecrated in 1856, when the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin parish church was becoming full. In turn, it too was becoming full by the 1980s, and so a new cemetery was opened at Steeple Arch, also on Cromford Road but about a mile further out of the town in a northerly direction.
