Grade II listed memorials include those of Sir John Bent,[3] Eleanora and Willam Gillespie,[4] Hetherington family,[5] Dr James Sheridan Muspratt,[6] Thomas Pennington,[7] Robert Rodgers,[8] Agnes and John Rowe [9] and Patience Simpson [10] In 2009 a ceremony organised by Sons of Confederate Veterans, allegedly a Neo-Confederate organisation, rededicating the grave of Irvine Bulloch[11] The cemetery contains the war graves of 274 Commonwealth service personnel, 227 from World War I and 45 from World War II.

[12] Buried in the cemetery (Grave G493) is John Hulley, founder of the Liverpool Gymnasium and the National Olympian Association, who died in 1873.

[14][15][16] A Memorial Fund was set up to raise money for the restoration of Hulley's grave and increase awareness of his part in the founding of the British Olympic movement.

[19][20] At the eastern end of the high southern boundary wall, where the cemetery ends and the grounds of a supermarket, a medical clinic, and modern houses begin, the high wall continues but the style of brickwork can be seen to change; this area now occupied by the aforementioned modern buildings was previously the Toxteth Park Workhouse, which was built in 1859 by the Toxteth Park Board of Guardians as part of the West Derby Union.

In 1923 the workhouse changed its name to the Smithdown Road Institution; in 1930 the Poor Law was abolished and the Union was disbanded, so the hospital was taken over by Liverpool Corporation.
