All burials prior to 1894 are located in the churchyard of the St Hilary Church and after this date the cemetery expanded across the road.

St Hilary Parish once included the town of Marazion and the offshore island of St Michael's Mount. Records from the parish were 'of the town' meaning Marazion or 'of the parish' meaning all other areas. These included, Plain-an-Gwarry, Tregurtha, Churchtown, Trewhella, Relubbus, Hallamaning, Colenso, Millpool, Greenberry, Woodstock, Carter's Downs, Rosudgeon, Trevean, and Prussia Cove being a few.

The church's unique tower was a landmark used by the mariners from far out at sea.

The town of Marazion did have a church, it being a chapelry of St Hilary, however it was controlled by the mother church in St Hilary. In 1813 it was given the ability to perform baptisms and burials and then in 1850 marriages. It became fully independent in 1892.
