Torquay Cemetery, Grade II listed burial ground in Torquay, England.

The cemetery extends across landscaped grounds with traditional Victorian design elements, featuring ornate headstones and memorial structures throughout the property.

Established in 1852, the cemetery emerged as a response to overcrowded graveyards during Torquay's development as a seaside destination in the 19th century.

The grounds contain separate sections for Anglican and Non-conformist burials, reflecting the religious divisions of Victorian society in England.

Visitors can access the cemetery daily through the main entrance on Barton Road, with dedicated parking spaces available near the central chapel.

The Singer Family Tomb houses the remains of Isaac Merrit Singer, the inventor of the sewing machine, alongside other members of this notable family.
