This is the oldest graveyard of the Christian community of Delhi who were buried here between 1808 and 1867. Lothian cemetery was built in the year 1808 and closed to burials in the 1960s. This burial ground is known as a haunted place of Delhi. Numerous European soldiers were buried here with most of them killed during the first battle of Independence of India in 1857 or Indian Rebellion of 1857. Staffs of East India Company, British women and children who had died in cholera epidemics were also buried there. Although the cemetery is under the preservation of Archaeological Survey of India it is presently seen in a dilapidated state.
