From 1862-64 and again from 1876-80 the burial registers indicate that the actual burial place was Beacon Lane Cemetery rather than St Edmund's Churchyard. The burial place was not indicated in other years, but the churchyard was almost full and the vast majority of burials until 1909 took place at Beacon Lane Cemetery.
By 1908 Beacon Lane cemetery was almost full, so another new burial ground, Sedgefield New Cemetery, in Butterwick Road, was opened in 1909.
Most of the surviving memorials from the burial ground are arranged along the perimeter walls, and the main ground is grassed over and used for recreational purposes.
