Witton Cemetery contains a wealth of fascinating architectural features spanning a century and a half.

The surviving Anglican chapel, built in an elevated position in the southern part of the site, dominates the view. It is an imposing example of mid-Victorian church architecture, and its great spire is a landmark for miles around.

The outer wall, which runs all round the site, is nearly 3 km long. It is now a listed structure. The lodges at the gateways, also listed buildings, are charcteristic examples of their period.

The cemetery contains grave monuments dating from its opening in 1863 to the present day. There are some fine examples of the stonemason's art, and their styles reflect the architectural fashions of the period in which they were carved.

There are several war memorials on site, commemorating both fallen servicemen and civilians who lost their lives in the great conflicts. The Cross of Sacrifice, set at the southern end of an avenue of limes, is a prime example of mid-20th century design.

The circular Cemetery Office, built in 2000, is a restrained and sympathetic example of modern design, which nestles unobtrusively in the landscape.
