Each plot contains space to bury four deceased. In my plan I have started in the northeast corner of each plot and named the four plots i,ii, iii, iv, respectively. So we could have B-20-iv or A-15-iii for a certain individual's plot.
I obtained a copy of the High Tor Cemetery Plot which is a handwritten “map” prepared by the people who are in charge of the cemetery with notations of who has purchased and/or been buried in the various plots. On this document (which unfortunately is very very difficult to read and faint as much of the original was printed in pencil), they have set out a grid which shows the cemetery broken into an eastern side and a western side, on the eastern side there are nine rows of six family plots which each contain space to bury four deceased. They have numbered this section starting in the northwest corner, moving eastward, then up to the next row and continued with the numbering going back westward, then moved up to next row and continued with the numbering eastward once again, etc. as set in attached Excel Grid document. I have labelled this side of the cemetery “A” and the east side “B”. Apparently the “B” section of the cemetery is reserved for Catholic deceased and the east or “A” section for “Protestant” believers.
