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.

3 open photo requests.

St James's graveyard was opened in 1832, due to the large number of burials it was extended in 1858 and then in 1899.

By the time the graveyard closed for burials in the 1960s more than 12300 people had been buried there.

There are over 625 marked graves in the churchyard but most of those buried here have no visible memorial
