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.

Just moments from the seafront, this quiet Victorian churchyard is snugly surrounded by homes of the parish. There has been a church here for centuries, but the first surviving record of a burial is in 1751, the last in May of 1940. Most graves are unmarked. The sea air, strong winds and extreme weather of the easternmost point of England have not been kind to those memorials that do exist. They are very weathered, most are partly, if not completely, illegible, and some are barely discernible. All headstones with recognizable names have been photographed and added to the appropriate memorial. If possible, the headstones have also been transcribed.
