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.

The foundation stone for the current church building was laid on St Chad's day, 2 March 1790 and the church was opened on 19 August 1792. This church lies 1/3 mile west of the site of Old St Chad's Church. Charles Darwin was baptised here on 15 Nov 1809, and as a young boy attended the church with his mother Susannah.

The churchyard extends east from the church and contains Ebenezer Scrooge's gravestone, a prop from the 1984 film, 'A Christmas Carol.'
