Hartshill Cemetery (reflecting the values of Victorian Society)
The 'best' location - Colin Minton Campbell
Location 7 on
the index map
Colin Minton Campbell donated £500 towards the laying-out of the new cemetery. In return he was allowed the first choice of a burial site for his family. As one might expect he chose a prominent site immediately adjacent to the main entrance where an imposing memorial was erected after his death in 1885.
