About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

St. Swithun's Church, situated on high ground at the Cross Roads was founded in 1136 by Geffrey de Magnaville under the Monastery of (Saffron) Walden, but almost certainly there would have been a place of worship there before with the position of Deep Well House just behind it. Wells, Springs, High Ground and Ash Trees were always places of deep religious significance. The Church has had a chequered history of partly collapsing and being re-built over the generations. The five Bells were rung for the first time in 23 years on September the 12th 1998 as the beginning of a village project to get them and the bell tower repaired in time to ring in the new millennium. The first recorded vicar was Anselm De Flempton, 14th May 1327.

Until 1895, Chishill was in Essex but then the boundary was changed and it became Cambridgeshire.
