Mission Brief

Weaste Cemetery, Salford’s first municipal cemetery, opened in 1857 in response to overcrowded churchyards. Designed in the Victorian style as both a burial ground and a peaceful public space, it once featured four chapels and a summer house, attracting many of Salford and Manchester’s wealthy residents. Expanded in 1888 to 39 acres, it now holds over 330,000 interments, including notable figures such as Joseph Brotherton, Sir Charles Hallé, Mark Addy, and veterans of the Charge of the Light Brigade.
