Monkwearmouth Cemetery, Mere Knolls, in the township of Fulwell, a little north of Roker, was opened in 1856, and has an area of nearly 32 acres, which are well arranged and laid out. There is shortly to be erected a fine mortuary chapel in the Catholic portion, which will be in the Early English style.
