About the cemetery
Castle Street cemetery was opened on the 17th May 1843, and features a chapel which it is thought was designed by the well known Kendalian architect George Webster.
The chapel was opened on the 12th of July 1845. The cemetery is now full, and interments in existing family plots happen occasionally.
The site is consecrated and contains a large number of very ornate memorials relating to famous Kendalians of the late 19the Century
