Victorian municipal cemetery, still open for new burials and cremations (2005). "Intake Cemetery was opened in 1880, the first interment taking place on 16 February. The cemetery covers 12 acres and to date over 6,000 burials have taken place" (http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/how-we-work/bereavement/cemeteries/intake - accessed on 28 June 2005). Comparison of the 1851 and 1891 OS map data confirms that the cemetery was created within a plot probably first surveyed as a part of the 1808 Handsworth Enclosure Award (English 1985, 63) which provided for the enclosure of the former Woodthorpe Common. Cemetery retains original layout and mortuary chapels for both Church of England and Non Conformist services. Partial legibility of earlier surveyed boundaries.
