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.

"Bedford Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was opened in 1793 and was the first Methodist chapel in Leigh. The 1844 OS map shows a chapel in a lane which was later to become North Street, apparently just behind the later site on Chapel Street, and identified as "Methodist Chapel". The 1893 map shows it on its present site but does not identify the denomination, nor does the 1905 map. On both these latter maps a school is shown behind the church on what appears to be the earlier site. The chapel, unusually for a non-conformist chapel in the area, had its own burial ground. The Wesleyan Methodists, United Methodists and Primitive Methodists merged in 1932 as the Methodist Church."
