Berwick Parish Churchyard Tour : Some History and Monuments

Until the opening of the Civic Cemetery in 1856, this was Berwick's only burial ground which was used by all denominations. Over the centuries many thousands of people have been buried there. The churchyard contains many monuments of all different shapes and sizes. Some were removed in 1972 but what remains provide a fascinating insight into Berwick's history and its many inhabitants.
