Parish Burial Ground. This was the site for Peterborough's Cemetery between 1805 and 1858. Before 1805 the people of Peterborough were buried in the lay cemetery behind the Cathedral but this land became overcrowded and the new site here was purchase. Within 50 years this too was full and a new site was acquired adjoining Eastfield Road.

This is the old plaque originally put up in 1985. The new blue Civic Society plaque (plaque #49582) is directly below.
