St Uny's Churchyard burials
© Maxwell Adams 2004-2006
Version 14 November 2006
Many of these gravestones are much weathered. I have included here only those of which the inscriptions
are readable or at which I can make a reasonable hazard. I have put in parentheses particularly difficult readings.
The gravestones cover the years from 1784 with the large majority in the nineteenth century.
I have put in entries from JH Matthews (1892, 96-98) A history of the parishes of St Ives, Lelant, Towednack,
and Zennor which are not now visible or legible in the churchyard, and these are marked at the forename or
relevant data with an asterisk *. There are inaccuracies in some of those recorded in Matthews which are still
visible and readable.
Several graves in the Western and Eastern cemeteries refer to people, often children, "buried in the old churchyard."
I have added the names of those so interred here and marked them with a hash # and in the Notes put the relevant
cemetery initial, W or E, in which they are commemorated. Each has only one identical PIN for both burial ground entries.
There are also memorial tablets marking the ashes of people who have been cremated in this churchyard. They are
recorded separately.
I have put at the end several names of people commemorated on death plaques within the church building itself. These are also
listed in Joseph Polsue (1870) Parochial history of the county of Cornwall, volume 3.
