Description	:	The Rosary Cemetery was established by Reverend Thomas Drummond, a Presbyterian Minister, in 1819. It was the first private cemetery in England. Drummond's aim was to establish a cemetery on freehold land to be secured as a cemetery for all time. Many nonconformists chose to be buried here, rather than in a Church of England churchyard. A small chapel was built and the cemetery was vested in a board of twelve trustees. Within the first eighty years some 18,000 burials had taken place and the original five acres filled. In 1903, a further eight acres was added to the East... Read More	The Rosary Cemetery was established by Reverend Thomas Drummond, a Presbyterian Minister, in 1819.
