Description	:	This is a Church of England burial ground opened in 1818 to serve the parishioners of Sculcoates parish. Until then, the nearby St Marys Churchyard had served as the major burial ground in the parish but was becoming crowded as City of Kingston Upon Hull grew northward. The new burial ground contained a mortuary chapel at its centre to facilitate burial services and was referred to as the Sculcoates Sacristy Cemetery as a result. The chapel had a cove ceiling covered with paintings of the heavens and various grades of angels. The building was destroyed by aerial bombing during WW2... Read More	This is a Church of England burial ground opened in 1818 to serve the parishioners of Sculcoates parish. Until then, the nearby St Marys Churchyard had served as the major burial ground in the parish but was becoming crowded as City of Kingston Upon Hull grew northward. The new burial ground contained a mortuary chapel at its centre to facilitate burial services and was referred to as the Sculcoates Sacristy Cemetery as a result. The chapel had a cove ceiling covered with paintings of the heavens and various grades of angels. The building was destroyed by aerial bombing during WW2 and the cemetery has become overgrown. Some of the original headstones and memorials are still in place in the cemetery, but many were removed or laid flat to produce a walkway during the post-war recovery phase. A third Sculcoates parish burial ground was opened across the street in the 1890s and is known as the Sculcoates Lane North Cemetery. The exact times these cemeteries were in operation is not known but both are now closed to further burials. A local community group has done some work to remove the overgrowth from both of the Sculcoates Lane cemeteries. The best place to find burial records for the Sculcoates Lane cemeteries are likely Church of England parish registers deposited in the East Riding Archives (The Treasure House, Champney Road, Beverley HU17 9BQ). Most burials from Sculcoates All Saints Church (from 1818), Sculcoates St Mary (from 1872) and Sculcoates St Paul (from 1846) registers likely took place in the Sculcoates Lane cemeteries. The All Saints and St Paul churches did not have a churchyard cemetery and the St Marys Churchyard cemetery was closed to burials in 1855. A number of other churches were built for the Church of England Sculcoates parishes in the 19th century. Christ Church on Worship St opened 26 September 1822 but was demolished in 1962 after being heavily damaged by bombing in WW2. St Philip Church was built in 1882 at the corner of Charlotte Street and Paradise Row. It was established as its own parish, but the church was badly damaged by WW2 bombing and demolished in 1941. St Silas, (Barmston Street) was built in 1870 but closed in 1967 and the building demolished in 1968. Separate parish registers for these churches have been deposited in the East Riding Archives but they do not appear to contain burial information. There are seven wargraves here but as these could no longer be maintained, the casualties are commemorated by special memorial headstones at Hull, Northern Cemetery.
