It is believed that the land was used prior to that to bury those who were washed up by the sea and could not be identified. The original two acre section of the cemetery is home to the graves of over 50 boys who died whilst in the care of the National Nautical School training on the Bristol Training Ship Formidable. Many of the boys who attended the school were either orphaned or sent there as a punishment following a petty crime and died of one of the many communicable diseases that were rife in the early 1900's, falls from the ship or the mast. An annexe has more recently been added. There are five wargraves here.
