On 6 May 1857 the Rev Edward Shuttleworth had transferred from the Vicarage Glebe a field of just over 1/2 an acre known as "Polgriggons" together with a right of way from the main highway to be held for ever as an additional burial ground for the parish. This original Cemetery area has been extended several times.
In 1986 it was taken over by Wadebridge Town Council who instituted a policy of a "lawn cemetery" with headstones only.
The Plan of Egloshayle Cemetery was designed so that visitors to the cemetery might find a particular grave/memorial using the Plot Numbers assigned by myself for FAG.Areas W,X &Y are defined by footpaths not signed within the Cemetery.
Area Z is the oldest part defined by the South gate and a line between the palm tree visible from the Garden of Remembrance and a large distinctive Tomb with railing.
In the Middle Cemetery the Rows are lettered from the hedge
with A to the right facing away from the hedge and AA to the left.
The Lawn starts after Row M and continues in Rows 1-9.
The memorial stones are numbered from the path outwards 1-??
in all 3 sections.
Currently (2018) the New Lawn area graves are only to the South of the pathway. Rows are numbered from the Car-park 1-?
Stones are numbered from the central pathway.
Row 4 is a short row.
