The first Zion Chapel was built 1795 with a graveyard accessed via Upper Chapel Lane. When the larger Zion Church was built burials continued until the 1940s with interments since in existing plots. The graveyard became overgrown with invasive weeds making it unsightly and dangerous. After publicity the Church authorities removed gravestones during 1985 converting this to a garden of remembrance, while headstones bearing legible inscriptions were fixed along one wall. Shrubs provide food and nesting for birds and grass is above 4 inches to encourage meadow flowers to grow.
