About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Originally, Thornton Parish Church (as it was known) served what is now Fleetwood, Cleveleys and Little Thornton. The Churchyard, which has served the whole District since 1835, is still the one and only burial ground in the area. It serves as a public cemetery and is used by all denominations.

The first Church, built in 1835, was a simple box-like construction. Later a tower was added. This Church and Tower stood between the Font and Chancel steps, between the present pillars of the Nave. The remains of this Church are in fact buried beneath the present Church.
