The Graveyard is a place to pay your respects and visit loved ones, but it also is an open book on the history of the Church and the burial stones dotted around the graveyard. One can trace the historical view of the gravestones in their section according to age, and there are also some notable graves mentioned below.
 
We believe that there are graves above graves as this was common practice to use the land to its best, although we can see that gravestones are being noted from the 1600's.  Burials have been taken place at Childwall Church from as far back as 1557 when records began. The oldest gravestone is believed to be from 1620 and gravestones from the late 1600's can be found with good inscriptions bearing the stories of the past.
 
The graveyard is bounded by a stone wall around its perimeter, and along Childwall Lane, there are three lych-gates. The three lych-gates, the oldest of which dates 1728 are still in use to this day.
