Location

Carisbrooke Cemetery, often referred to as 'Mount Joy' Cemetery is located on Whitcombe Road, Carisbrooke PO30 1DW.  The cemetery was established in 1858 on land purchased by the Carisbrooke & Gatcombe Burial Board, because St. Mary's Churchyard in Carisbrooke was becoming full. The cemetery is now managed by the Bereavement Services Department of the Isle of Wight Council.
The cemetery contains 32 War Graves from the 1st & 2nd World Wars.
