Graves of interest

How to find a grave

The cemetery is divided into sections with Roman numerals. Each section is then divided into rows (letters of the alphabet), followed by a grave number. So the Council’s cemetery records designate each grave uniquely by Section, Letter, Number. An example could be XX:B:25.

Finding your way around

Some sections along the main drive have water taps provided for tending graves. These taps provide useful reference points in their own right (shown as green circles).

Section 20 (XX) has the chapel which serves as a good reference point. Sections at the 'top' of the map (eastern end) are best located in relation to the central round bed and the paths which are shown as double dotted-lines.

Please remember - the majority of grave stones have been buried below ground.
