Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1930, but we don't know whether or not it is still open. There are just a few headstones in this Military Cemetery, next to St John the Evangelist's Churchyard. Known inscriptions cover the period 1929-1993, and are for family members and service personnel. Its presence in this small village at the end of a peninsula, lying underneath the A48 Severn Road Bridge may be explained by the presence of an Army Barracks here - currently (2011) "1st Battalion, The Rifles". There are two places of worship - marked with a '+' on OS Maps - within the confines of the Army Barracks itself, presumably not accessible to the general public. They are marked as a Church and Chapel on OS Map 1971 1:10,560, when the area now marked as Barracks was marked as an Army Apprentices College. The Church is known to be dedicated to St George - see the entry elsewhere in this database. There was also a Customs House marked at the end of the road leading towards the end of the peninsula, on the opposite side of the road to The Old Ferry Inn. This now appears to be a Coastguard Station. There may be more information available by by selecting one or more of the accompanying images on the right. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is/was located at OS grid reference ST5503591258. You can see this on various mapping systems.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
