The graveyard has been divided up into sections for two reasons. Firstly so that the graveyard can be
built in blocks. Its easier to build a number of small maps as opposed to one large one. Secondly the maps are being created to match Hilda Dearnley's. In the mid 1970's Hilda created a document
containing all the grave inscriptions. Using the same mapping system allows us to cross reference to her inscriptions. The inscriptions can be viewed on the Barnsley Family History Website (see links) or at
Barnsley Library in the reference section upstairs. See link to inscription page.
Use the records page to search for names to locate which section a grave is in. Then select the letter of the section.
The map grid reference runs from top to bottom and left to right. So row H1 grave
position 1 is at the top left hand corner of the map. A grave is located by row then position. For example H12.15 is row 12 in section H and is the fifteenth grave along the row.The graveyard is not
uniform in its layout so don't assume graves are evenly spaced running in precision rows and columns. Also remember not all graves have headstones.

Clicking on letters A, B, C or D will take you to the same section known as area CHURCH.
Part of area C has been designated as a cremations area but also contains older graves. Grave references for
cremations in this area will begin with CREM.
