The Leicester Road cemetery opened in 1888. Markfield Local History Group has access to the older burial records and can help trace a grave or read an inscription. A full name and rough year are a good place to start if you no longer have the grave number.
Reading the cemetery plan
The history group’s plan divides the ground into lettered sections. Its published survey includes sections A and C. If a name is missing from those lists, there are other sections to check. St Michael’s churchyard has its own separate survey.
