In 1931 a cemetery was formed in the Parish of St Columb Minor, which includes northern Newquay, to supplement that in the Parish churchyard. It was named Fairpark, as it was in the field where fairs and sports were held. The cemetery now includes Church of England, Roman Catholic and Nonconformist sections. It contains thirty three Second World War burials; of these, twenty are together in a group with three graves of ex-servicemen who were buried in the war graves group, although their deaths were not due to war service. Seven unidentified men of the Merchant Navy are also buried in this cemetery.
