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.

St Peter's Church, Bridge makes an immediate impression, as one comes down the hill from Canterbury; it is at the bottom of the hill, with houses grouped closely around the west end, though the churchyard opens onto fields to the south east. The Domesday Book records a church on the site, and the first named incumbent, Walter de Burne, became a Crusader. In 1852 a Mrs Gregory gave money for the building to be restored. The work was carried out under the supervision of George Gilbert Scott in 1858, cladding the exterior in Kentish flint. The interior is unexpectedly light, and has memorials to various families from the great manor houses around Bridge. The markers in the walled portion of the chuchyard are mainly 19th century; there is a newer extension to the south which includes some war graves.
