The register of plots

The council’s cemetery register files 2,608 plots in this ground, 2,005 marked occupied. Dates in this range are burial dates where recorded, otherwise dates of death: 1840 to 2026. The register names everyone buried here, this page names only those seventy years gone or more (931 of them).

    Seventy years gone or older: newer burials are counted above, never listed. The council keeps the whole register and its own grave search for the rest.
