Add PhotosIn 1864, Rachel Myers gifted five acres on Molescroft Road as an additional burial ground for St Mary parish. This was the third burial ground for the St Mary parish, the other two being St Mary Churchyard and a separate cemetery opened on North Bar Within in 1829. A three acre plot at the Molecroft Road location was consecrated and parish burials officially commenced in 1869. However, temporary burial licenses were issued in prior years, including one for the burial of Mrs. Myers in 1867. A mortuary chapel with a later 13th-century style was designed by William Hawe and built in 1867-68; this chapel is still found in the cemetery. By 1919, the original consecrated ground of three acres was full and the rest of the cemetery was consecrated. The Molescroft Road cemetery was closed in 1963 except for burials in existing plots. Since that time St Mary parish has used consecrated areas of various municipal cemeteries for the burial of their parishioners. Burial registers for St Mary parish are available at the East Riding Archives (Treasure House, Champney Road, Beverley, HU17 8HE).
