Part of the churchyard was being developed in 2009 to provide a new church hall. Victorian graves were being removed by specialist archaeologists in advance of construction work. The coffins were to be re-buried intact in a designated area of Kingston cemetery. See Image for one of the graves after coffins had been removed.
