Evening all 
I was unsure whether to post this or not, as I suppose its not strictly speaking derelict, although its certainly the unkempt part of the cemetery, and has a derelict chapel in it. But if you pit it...no offence taken
Boston cemetery was opened in 1855 and since then nearly 38,000 burials have taken place. There are some 10,000 memorials in the cemetery. Prior to the opening of this cemetery, burials would have taken place in local churchyards or in the former St. Johns Cemetery, Skirbeck Road, Boston
In the original part of Boston cemetery several impressive memorials can be found, the most famous of which is that to Sir Herbert Ingram MP, founder of the London Illustrated News. Ingram drowned along with his son, when the vessel they were aboard sank on Lake Michigan in North America. His body was returned to Boston and buried in the cemetery.
A small area of war graves, rather better maintained...
Two chapels were originally built opposite each other at either side of the road leading from the gatehouse. A further can be found at the end of this road.
Today, the right hand chapel no longer exists, and the other two lie in a derelict state, being used a storage. The Boston Victorian Cemetery Trust is hoping to bring them back into use, although seems to be having little luck...
Thanks for looking in guys, your feedback good or bad is much appreciated as ever
