Notes

 

This is as complete graveyard survey as was possible. There are a few more headstones, but these are either toppled or unreadable

Some graves are only have grave markers - rocks without inscriptions

Others have been disturbed over the years and there can be seen some human bones, scattered on the surface of the burial ground

The graveyard has been recorded variously as Kilminster, Kirkminster, Kirkminister and Churchminster
