In 1673, the burial ground was acquired from Richard Bax at whose house, Pleystowe Farm, meetings were held from c.1655 to 1724. (This burial ground was in use until 1849.) In 1704, a plot of half an acre was leased on CapelâPcs main street (present day address is: 142-144 St) for use as a new burial ground. In 1724, the present meeting house was built on the site. The burial ground in front of the meeting house is reputedly the older one; it has no headstones but a historic postcards clearly show the burial mounds. The burial ground behind the building is still in use. It has 33 headstones from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. The earliest surviving headstone is that for Mary Dale who died in 1861.
