For 175 years , the cemetery was managed by succesive British Consuls with a samll contribution
from the British government. This contribution eas withdrawn in 1903 , after which the maintenance
of the cemetery and its gardens declined until by the late twentiesth century the precint was in a
state of considerable neglect.
At this point in the Cemetery´s history , the British Consul Bruce McIntyre decided that the best solution was to transfer ownership of the land to a foundation which could seek funding for its proper upkeep. In 2006, ownership was transferred to the English Cemetery in Malaga Fountation, a nonprofit organisation founded to preserve, maintain and manage the monument as part of the historical legacy of the city
The English cemetery in Malaga was designated a site of cultural interest in andalusia in 2012 and is registered with the association of significant Cemeteries in Europe thanks to its great historical and botanical value.
