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 Mary's church in Kippax, 9 miles east of Leeds, is characterised by its' typical Saxon herring-bone masonry. It is a Grade 1 listed building dating from the late 11th century. The church is of substantial size, standing on a hilltop close to the earthworks of a probably wooden castle.

Although a church at Kippax is mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086, the site was used for worship and burial prior to this. In the 1870s a Roman coffin (possibly re-used) was discovered beneath the nave of the church. Inside the church, fragments of an Anglo-Saxon cross shaft were found dating to the 10th century.

An extensive churchyard extends north from the church and a newer extension to the north-east. There are ten Commonwealth war graves in the churchyard.
