Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1865, and we understand it is still open. Old Maps, for instance OS 1886 1:2,500 show that Upton Cemetery with two Mortuary Chapels. One is Nonconformist; the other is Church of England, designed by local architect George Rowe Clarke, and erected in 1867. The British Listed Buildings account (they are Grade II) says that Clarke was buried to the south east of the chapels in 1908. The surrounding area is marked "Buryfield" well into the 20th century. Directly behind the Cemetery, to the east was the Union Workhouse. The remainder of the surrounding area appears to have been orchard, as for instance to the south, a plot is labelled "Soley's Orchard", and following Rectory Road south was Buryend Farm. Since then, the area has been developed for housing. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration.

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.
