Until 1903, the eastern section had been used by the Norfolk Lunatic Asylum. All the asylum's graves have since been re-used and the dead buried in them are now anonymous. The cemetery was opened in 1859. The two acres of land had been purchased for £500, with half the amount having been raised by voluntary rate and the remainder was contributed from the funds of the Lunatic Asylum, situated a short distance further to the east, to which one acre was appropriated. The two sections are separated by a low brick wall.
