North Ormesby Cemetery is immediately adjacent to south side of North Ormesby St Joseph's RC Cemetery that is situated at the corner of the Trunk Road, A1085, and Ormesby Road at the opposite corner of what used to be the White House Garage [there is street parking nearby]. There is no wall now between the two cemeteries.
