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.

A church to serve the parish of New Wortley in the growing metropolitan area of Leeds was constructed in 1852. St John the Baptist Church was designed by architect Jeremiah Dobson and was one of the twenty churches constructed under the supervision of Dr Walter Farquhar Hook, then Vicar of Leeds. It was closed in 1957 and eventually demolished in the postwar redevelopment of the area. A burial register covering the period 1863 to 1912 is available from the West Yorkshire Archive Services. The GPS map location shows the approximate location of the former churchyard.
