Description	:	This was a burial ground for the Holy Trinity Parish, and was in use from 1784 to 1861. The Trinity Burial Ground would become known in more recent times as Castle Street Cemetery. It is one of three burial grounds that was specifically consecrated for burial of Holy Trinity parishioners. The other two are the Holy Trinity Churchyard and the Division Road/Hessle Street Cemetery.

The Trinity Burial Ground would become known in more recent times as Castle Street Cemetery. It is one of three burial grounds that was specifically consecrated for burial of Holy Trinity parishioners. The other two are the Holy Trinity Churchyard and the Division Road/Hessle Street Cemetery. The first burial ground for the Holy Trinity parish was within the original church building (for eminent people) or in the small bit of churchyard surrounding the building (for most other parishioners). By the late 18th century, however, the Holy Trinity Churchyard was filled to capacity. The urgent need for more burial space is clearly highlighted in records of the British Parliament from 1783: "And whereas the population of the parish of the Holy Trinity in the Town and County of the town of Kingston-upon-Hull, hath for many years greatly increased, and the inhabitants of the said parish are become so numerous that the Church Yard and Burial Places belonging to the same are not now sufficiently large to contain the bodies of those who die in the said parish, and are required to be buried therein, without much inconvenience and annoyance to the inhabitants. And whereas, at the General Meeting of the inhabitants and parishioners of the said parish.... it was agreed and resolved that an application should be made to Parliament, to enable the parishioners of the said parish to purchase a piece of ground, for an additional burial ground for the use of the said parish, and to raise money for that purpose. " ("A Collection of Statutes relating to the Town of Kingston-Upon-Hull by William Woolley, 1830, p 3). The passage of this Act in 1783 allowed trustees to collect a tax from parishioners to pay for the purchase of a new burial ground. This was to be 2 to 3 acres in size and could cost up to £1500 (about £186000 in today's currency). Trinity Burial Ground was quite likely the site for most burials recorded in the Holy Trinity Church burial register after 1783 until 1861. There is some indication that the original Holy Trinity Churchyard continued to be used, perhaps for the burial of eminent people, until it was permanently closed to further burials in 1855. In 1861, the Trinity Burial Ground was also closed due to a lack of space. The third burial ground for the Holy Trinity parish (the Division Road/Hessle Street Cemetery) was consecrated in 1862 and was used until its closure in 1898. Non-parochial cemeteries also started to be established in the city, beginning with the opening of the General Cemetery in 1847. Holy Trinity parish burial records covering the 1783-1861 time-frame have been deposited with the East Riding Archives (The Treasure House, Champney Road, Beverley HU17 9BQ). The inscriptions on monuments present in the Castle Street Cemetery were recorded shortly after its closure. A copy of this record is available from the East Yorkshire Family History Society (Carnegie Heritage Centre, 342 Anlaby Road, Kingston upon Hull, HU3 6JA). Some of these monuments are still present in the Castle Street Cemetery, although many have been lost to vandalism and the general wear of time.
