Undercliffe Cemetery, Grade II* listed cemetery in Bolton and Undercliffe, England
The cemetery stretches across 26 acres on a hillside, containing 124,000 burials and 23,000 marked graves with Victorian funerary monuments overlooking Bradford.
William Gay designed the cemetery between 1851 and 1854 on agricultural land from the Undercliffe Estate, responding to Bradford's textile industry growth and burial needs.
The grounds feature separate sections for Anglican burials in the western half and non-conformist denominations including Baptist, Methodist, and Quaker in the eastern portion.
The Undercliffe Cemetery Charity manages the site with assistance from local volunteers who maintain the grounds and preserve the historical monuments throughout the year.
A prominent east-west promenade traverses the cemetery grounds, offering views of Bradford while connecting various listed monuments such as the Joseph Smith Obelisk and Mawson Monument.
