The fact that this is called the Old Cemetery means that Loy Lane must already be well established. Eric Johnson tells us ”The cemetery was laid out in 1857, with mortuary chapel built in the “Norman style”. Marjorie Magor makes a plea: “Friends of Loftus Cemetery would be pleased to have any information regarding old cemetery on Loy Lane. Dates? any well known local dignitaries laid to rest there, history related information, Thanks.”
