The first cemetery was located around the church, then a second one at 43 rue de Blois (now the elementary school) is testified in the Napoleonic Land Registry, with a surface area of 900m². The municipal council, on March the 8th, in 1860, decided to move the cemetery which had become too small. The new cemetery was located on the northern slope, at the end of the rue des Beauvoirs.
Formally, the tomb of Theophane de Poltava, archbishop and theologian of the Russian Orthodox Church was located in the cimetery. He was the confessor of the last Tsarina. Following the Russian revolution of 1917, the archbishop was forced into exile. Arrived in France in 1931, he moved to Limeray, in a troglodyte dwelling, to live as a hermit until the end of his life. He was buried in Limeray in 1940. His body was given back to Russia in 2022, following the family’s request. His grave site is still tended to, as it remains a place of pilgrimage for Orthodox Russians.
In the cemetery, there is also the War Memorial in honor of the men and women from Limeray that died during the two World Wars.
