Bouncer's Lane Cemetery, Grade II listed burial ground in Cheltenham, England.

The 65-acre cemetery features Gothic chapels connected by a porte-cochère, winding paths, and mature trees across its landscaped sections.

Founded by the Cheltenham Improvement Commissioners' Burial Board in 1864, the cemetery was designed by architect William Henry Knight for the expanding spa town.

The cemetery contains 183 war graves, including Commonwealth service personnel from both World Wars and Polish service members who served their country.

The grounds include both traditional burial plots and a crematorium, established in 1938 as the 39th such facility in the British Isles.

Musicians, poets, and military officers rest here, including Welsh poet William Henry Davies and founding Rolling Stones member Brian Jones.
