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.

The East of Water Cemetery is situated as the name suggests east of Bideford town centre. It can be reached by crossing the old historic Bideford bridge over the river Torridge and turning left into Barnstaple Street. It was opened in 1890 and there is an unsafe derelict Victorian chapel situated behind the entrance gates. The cemetery contains 476 grave, including 20 Commonwealth Commission War Graves. One of the war graves is dedicated to Bideford born Mildred Mary Johns of the Queen Mary's Army Axillary who died in 1919 aged 22. Two notable graves are recipients of the Victoria Cross. Lieutenant General Sir Gerald Graham (1831-1899) and General George Channer (1843-1905). The cemetery is now closed to burials.
