About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Also known as Cheddar Road Cemetery. By 1930, the churchyard at St. Mary's, Wedmore, was overcrowded, so it was proposed to obtain a piece of land on the Wedmore to Cheddar road for an extension [1]. Work started on the new cemetery extension in 1931, and was complete by early 1932 [2]. The work was carried out by Mr Ernest Wall and Mr W . R. Withers, after competitive tenders were obtained. The land was given by Miss C. J. White [3]. The cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in the evening of May 17, 1932, at 7pm [4]. There are over 500 graves within the cemetery, three of which are Commonwealth War Graves [5].
