The ground was cleared, leveled and enclosed by a perimeter wall. St. Mary's mission was built in 1831 to serve the new burial ground and the building is now a Grade II Listed Building. The first burial took place on 19 September 1831 and remained in use until 1864 when the new cemetery opened in Prestbury.
