A new burial ground for St Mary's parish was established in 1829 on land purchased from Henry Ellison. The western end was reserved as a private cemetery for the Ellison family and other Beverley residents. The burial ground closed in 1869. The church conveyed the land to the then Beverley Corporation in 1955 for use as a public open space. The Coronation Garden was created to commemorate the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953.
