St Paul's has an extensive churchyard which was originally laid out in Victorian times and contains an interesting selection of Victorian and modern gravestones. This churchyard is subject to rules and regulations and any graves and cremation plots should comply with these regulations.

New Burials

Our churchyard is still open for new burials and the burial of cremated remains (ashes) - for more information please contact us via Facebook where the message inbox is regularly checked.

If you are considering having a loved one, or their ashes, interred in our churchyard you should be aware that there are restrictions on the type of headstone/memorial tablet that is allowed in the churchyard. Churchyards are covered by the Diocesan Churchyard regulations which are stricter than the regulations covering municipal cemeteries regarding headstones and memorial tablets. Certain types and colour of stone, designs and inscriptions are not allowed in churchyards under the Diocesan regulations so early advice should be sought.

We welcome enquiries about people buried in the churchyard and we will always try our best to help locate a grave. Please contact us via Facebook for more information.
