Leamington Cemetery is located at the end of Wordsworth Street in the Waikato town of Cambridge. Its old section is known as Cambridge West (Leamington) Cemetery. The first civilian burial here appears to have taken place on 17 August 1880. Nearly two decades earlier, however, the site was the burial ground for the 3rd Waikato Militia, which was based at ‘Camp Cambridge’.
