Hello,
Does anyone know if Philips Park Cemetery ever had a ANon Conformist section?
Many Thanks
Sam :)

Mr Google says :-
Philips Park Cemetery in Manchester, UK, has a significant non-conformist section (often Section 101), established as a non-consecrated area popular with dissenters, featuring simpler graves and a marked site for a former mortuary chapel, contrasting with more ornate Anglican burials. It's known for hosting notable nonconformist figures and offers simpler, plain grave designs reflecting its distinct religious heritage.
