The burial ground was originally on Hungate Street that ran past St Savior Church to join St Saviourgate. This plot of land was purchased by the St Crux Church trustees for use as a parish burial ground in 1770. A new burial ground was needed as the church trustees had sold most of the original St Crux Churchyard for road work associated with the widening of Pavement. The burial ground is clearly presented on the 1852 ordnance map of York. This was well before the modern Stongbow was constructed and Hungate Street was cut off from St Saviourgate. The St Crux Hungate Burial Ground now sits directly behind a modern commercial building situated on The Strongbow. The last burials in the Hungate burial ground took place in 1851 when all of the parochial burial grounds in York were closed by order of parliament for hygienic reasons. After closure of the Hungate burial ground, St Crux parishioners would have been buried in public cemeteries such as York Cemetery.
