Full description
Lovie, J., Exwick Cemetery (Un-published). SDV357054.
Quite a late cemetery (1875), but a nice typical burial board layout with a pair of chapels. A fine avenue of cypresses. The extension to the west is of no interest and should not be included.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century cemetery occupied only the small southern part of the large L-shaped area which now exists. It contained a lodge and two mortuary chapels.
