Reading Old Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in Reading, England.
Reading Old Cemetery spans 11.5 acres of land, featuring stone monuments, ornate memorials, and numerous mature specimen trees throughout its grounds.
The cemetery opened in 1843 following the Reading Cemetery Company Act of 1842, responding to population growth during the industrial development of Reading.
The grounds contain separate sections for Anglican and Dissenter burials, marked by a low brick wall that reflects religious divisions in Victorian society.
Visitors can explore the cemetery between April and September from 09:00 to 20:00, and from October through March from 09:00 to 17:00.
The cemetery houses 18,327 graves, including Commonwealth war memorials and the resting place of Willie Wimmera, an Aboriginal Australian who died in Reading.
