Old Barnes Cemetery

This was formed in 1855 and was nearly full when John Eustace Anderson was writing his local history in 1900 when he anticipated the need for a new cemetery. Anderson records that there was a mortuary chapel as well as the cemetery. There is no more. It seems likely that the provision of these at that date followed the works which made the common less liable to flooding.
