The cemetery was opened in 1849, initially as an overflow for north Oxford because existing cemeteries were overcrowded with corpses from epidemics such as cholera. St Sepulchre's Cemetery itself became overcrowded later in Victorian times. The cemetery was established along with Osney Cemetery and Holywell Cemetery. In 1855, new burials were forbidden at all Oxford city churches, apart from in existing vaults.
