St. Jago's Cemetery

St. Jago's Cemetery was a cemetery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Also known as Deadman's Cemetery, it was positioned just north of the Charles V Wall. The burial ground was initially used for the poor Spaniards of La Turba; following the 1704 capture of Gibraltar, it was utilised as a Protestant cemetery. In 1929, the burial ground was incorporated into the St. Jago's Barracks recreational facilities. Three years later, some of the remaining headstones were transferred to Trafalgar Cemetery. Little evidence of the former cemetery remains. It is notable as the earliest cemetery in Gibraltar as well as the only one within the city limits.
==Early history==

St. Jago's Cemetery was located in Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula. The burial ground was positioned just north of the Charles V Wall.〔〔 It extended from the defensive wall to what is now AquaGib Limited, the water supply company that was formerly Lyonnaise des Eaux (Gibraltar). Also referred to as Deadman's Cemetery, St. Jago's may represent the oldest cemetery in Gibraltar. In addition, the cemetery is notable as the only one within the walls of the city of Gibraltar.〔
The cemetery is believed to have been the location of an older burial ground for those impoverished Spaniards who once lived in the La Turba district.〔 After the capture of Gibraltar from the Spanish in 1704, St. Jago's was later used as a Protestant cemetery for both civilians and the military. However, Roman Catholics were often interred in a pit in their church, with lime to promote decomposition.〔
