Mutton Lane Cemetery

Mutton Lane Cemetery, officially known as St Mary's Cemetery, is a cemetery in Mutton Lane, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, that is associated with nearby St Mary the Virgin and All Saints church. The cemetery includes a garden of remembrance for prisoners of war.

History

[edit]

In 1909 a gothic-style lychgate was built on the northern side of the cemetery which is locally listed by Hertsmere Borough Council.[1]

The cemetery contains thirteen Commonwealth war graves of service personnel, three from World War I and ten from World War II.[2]

The cemetery was closed to new burials in the 1970s, however, ashes may still be interred there.[3]
