Heaton cemetery is now the busiest cemetery in Bolton with around 250 interments per annum. The cemetery also contains dedicated areas for both religions and communities, these include Ukrainian, Polish, Latvian, Russian, Muslim and Hindu.

The interior is bare and all the furniture has been removed.

Timber roof trusses above the nave.
The apse, where the altar was placed.

Note the Seal of Solomon (hexagram) symbols, and Solar cross, on the three round windows.
The tower above the crossing.
Door in the North transept, leading to a small side-room.
Window on the North side of the nave.
Alcove window in the South transept.
Radiator.
Electric bar heaters.
