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 was built by the owner of the island in the 1850's, to serve the small group of people who lived and worked on the island's pottery works, which made clay sewerage pipes and chimney pots..

Originally, the island was known as Branksea Island and served as the experimental scouting camp in 1907, by Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout and Guide movement.

St. Mary's Church continues to hold weekly services each Sunday at 3pm for both visitors to the island and those who live on it.

The island was gifted to the National Trust by it's last private owner - Mary Bonham-Christie. She had owned and lived on the island from 1927 to her death in 1962.
