Fenton Cemetery
Bassilow Road, Fenton

Fenton cemetery was laid out in 1887 on a 16.5 acre site in the north-east of the town, on sloping ground at the rear of Fenton Park.
The cemetery buildings were typical of those in other local cemeteries, with two chapels - one for the established (Church of England) church and the other for non-conformists. 
The Victorian chapel buildings were not listed and, although attractive, did not compare with the chapel buildings in Hartshill of Hanley.
The Fenton cemetery chapel was demolished, amidst opposition from local residents, in August 2001.
