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.

This was the original site of an Anglican church known as St George at Beanhills. St George parish was united with St Denys in 1586. The church building was badly damaged during the siege of York in 1644 and allowed to crumble, although St George Churchyard continued to be used for burials well into the 1800s. A Roman Catholic church, also dedicated to St George but unrelated to the original Anglican churchyard, opened across the street in 1850. The St George Churchyard was turned into a public green space in 1924. Burial registers for the united St Denys with St George parish cover the period 1558 to 1854. These have been deposited with the Borthwick Institute for Archives, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD. Like all other church burial locations within the City of York, the St George Churchyard would have been closed to further burials by parliamentary order in December 1854.
