Background
History
The land was originally owned by Councillor John Maxfield. Sheffield Corporation paid a total of £8,050 (£350 per acre for over 23 acres in extent) for the land which covers the cemetery itself as well as multiple surrounding allotments. Maxfield was the first interment at the site for at least two full years before the cemetery was opened for burials, his epitaph was recorded as such. He was given special dispensation by the Corporation to be buried there.
