CEMETERY:

  • Gilroes Cemetery, Jewish Section, Groby Road:

The Leicester (Orthodox) Hebrew Congregation uses a section of this cemetery.

The Jewish Gilroes website (a project funded by the UK Heritage Lottery and affiliated to JCR-UK) went on-line in August 2014. The website includes a SEARCHABLE DATABASE and full catalogue of all burials in the Cemetery (approximately 820 internments dating from 1902), genealogical search facilities, photographs of all extant headstones and fascinating stories of some of those buried in the Cemetery.
