- Maintenance History
- 9 August 2013: Although the components were in good condition, the conjoined headstone and base had been detached and laid on their back on top of the kerbs, presumably because they had become dangerous. The cemetery is entered on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. Parks and Gardens UK reference 2450.
