Notes:
'The site at Newton Road has been used for burials since late 1880. This cemetery was originally managed by Rushden Urban District Council and was then taken over by East Northamptonshire District Council. When Rushden Town Council was formed in 2000 they took on the management of the Cemetery.' - Newton Road Cemetery: Rushton Town Council
'The Cemetery was dedicated on September 27th 1888, a lovely bright day, by Canon Barker. The "purchase" of a grave usually meant for 100 years, and depending on the depth of the first burial, may be used for up to four bodies. If a memorial stone is already on a grave which is to be opened for a subsequent burial, then the stone mason is asked to fetch the memorial away. If no relative requests the replacement of the memorial it will remain in the masons yard for up to ten years, but then may be discarded. Those inscriptions are lost forever.'
