St John's Cemetery, Newcastle upon Tyne - Newcastle upon Tyne
Burial board cemetery of 1857. The twinned northern entrance lodges and ornate joining arch (grade II) are derelict and subsiding, the latter permanently propped. The chapels (grade II) are unused and fenced off although in fair condition. Boundary walls are subsiding. Many monuments are in poor condition, including the Mather Tomb (grade II), Terraces and steps on Miser Hill are in poor condition and overgrown. A 2023 project joint funded by Historic England & Newcastle City Council aims to increase engagement and accessibility and develop proposals for a larger repair project.
