About this cemetery
The churchyard of Old Town Church serves as the principal cemetery for the island of St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly. The Council of the Isles of Scilly manages the cemetery that lies adjacent to the churchyard. It holds the graves of many centuries of local families, and volunteers spent about two years clearing the churchyard and uncovering stories of those buried there.
