through the trees to the right is the tower of Fenton Cemetery

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 Fenton cemetery chapel was demolished, amidst opposition from local residents, in August 2001.
