Reading Old Cemetery (originally Reading Cemetery) is in the east of Reading, Berkshire, England. It is located immediately to the east of Cemetery Junction, a major road junction in Reading. The cemetery is Grade II listed.〔(Discover gems of our heritage ), ''Reading Chronicle'', 10 September 2009.〕 ==History==
Reading Cemetery was set up by a private act of Parliament in 1842, establishing the Reading Cemetery Company. The first interment took place in 1843.〔 It was one of many cemeteries built in the Victorian era in response to the rapid population increase in the 19th century. Reading Cemetery was built on farm land outside the existing borough boundaries at a site called Hattons Platt which was owned by a Mr. Cholmeley. Few people wanted their family buried in the new cemetery until the 1850s, by which time the situation had become so bad that the three cemeteries in the centre of Reading were closed. Reading Cemetery Gatehouse, Sarcophagus Monument and the cemetery itself are Grade II listed buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-39020-entrance-lodges-and-gates-to-cemetery-rea )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-490023-sarcophagus-monument-at-reading-cemetery )〕
