I recall reading that most church yards were cleared in the 1850s when the Victorians went on a rebuilding drive, there was also a growing shortage of space so many old stones and grave residents where moved on to take residents burial pits or crypts. Many of the new churches of that era will have been lost over the years either to new uses or cleared. What we need to look for are the old church grounds that disappeared when the towns began to out grow there common boundaries after the industrial revolution.
