Newer burials are counted but never named here; the council’s own cemetery search holds the whole register. --- The ground is OpenStreetMap’s, a named node, way or relation tagged landuse=cemetery inside the city boundary (ODbL). The ground is the map’s; the graves are the council’s, the register of plots is their Green Assets layer (gmCemeteryPlot), names included only where the death is seventy years gone or more.
