St John's Churchyard, Chapeltown, Ecclesfield. - Churchyard Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

A rather rambling churchyard. At the present work is being carried out on the building and railings, with locked gates, have been placed all round the building, possibly conversion to private use. Some of the older graves are inside the perimeter of the railings, the rest of the churchyard is open to the public.
There is a family railed plot listing members of the Newton and Chambers families. Newton and Chambers was a large business in the area.
