In a prominent position in the centre of the cemetery driveway, near to the chapels, is this monument, to the memory of Dr Dionysius Lardner Donovan, who died, aged 35 years, in 1864.



Although he had been in Heanor as Parish Surgeon for only four years, he must have created a major impression on the town’s people, who erected the monument by public subscription ‘in recognition of his unswerving attention and kindness towards the suffering poor’.
