Some of the Death entries for St Johns have a graveyard reference coded as - Row x Grave y
Some Graves are not marked with a headstone
The Verger / Churchwarden may be able to help...

Hi Pullin'
Have just been in contact with the local Churchwarden.
There does exist some form of plan, but from all accounts not very informative.
The person holding the plan is on holiday at this time, returning first week in June, will endeavour to contact them and post info accordingly.

I tried to see it many years ago without any success. Churchyards are invariably not in disciplined rows like cemetries. But they Do go in some sort of date order. That's the key. Find the approx. date you're interested in and then with a bit of luck you'll find the one you're looking for if extant. Works for me.

PS There's two of mine in St John's.
