allowed for the provision of cemeteries. Hyde Park Cemetery was one of the earliest and was constructed on a gently sloping site, with pleasant curving walks on the upper parts and which overlooked Doncaster Carr. The first burial took place on 2 January 1856 and by the end of 1900 almost 20,000 people had been buried there. Separate sections, separated by a broad walkway, were reserved for the dissenters at the eastern end of the ground. The Roman Catholics were buried at the western end.
By September 1872 there were just 12 vacant plots remaining and ten years later, in 1882, a new 15 acre addition was eventually opened. The provision of new burial plots in the cemetery ceased in 1986, however, burials still occasionally take place in existing family plots with the burial service being held
elsewhere.
A new cemetery/crematorium opened at Rosehill, Cantley Lane in 1933.
