Peaceful Location.
Sep 2020 • Couples
As previously mentioned I’m not sure either why this is a TA location to visit, a church most probably ‘yes’, but a church yard, probably not, unless there is something outstanding about it.
The family and friends of those buried here may well like the views, but it’s a shame that the grassed areas are not being maintained. Easy to reach from Barnoon car park or from the Tate Gallery.
Don’t go out of your way to visit here!

Cemetery with a view
Jul 2019 • Family
Next to a busy car park which is a bit of a shame but the old headstones are quite interesting of you're into that kind of thing.

At peace while at peace
Oct 2019
What a beautiful final resting place with a lookout over the bay. Not sure how a cemetery can really attract a 'review' on Trip Advisor but the place just afforded such a beautiful view. Something very peaceful about the place.

Great position
Sep 2019
This is in a beautiful position just above the bay. We managed to find Alfred Wallis' grave. The cemetery looks a little bit unkempt which is a pity but still worth a visit if you are in St Ives.

RIP with an amazing view
Aug 2019
Went here to find Alfred Wallis grave. I love his naive paintings and think he got a raw deal from the art world in his lifetime. Lovely grave covered with tiles from the Leach Pottery, worth a look.

A quiet place in a busy summer resort
Aug 2019
If you can't find a quiet corner and need a moment of peace in St. Ives, this is the place for you. Beautifully kept, peaceful and with glorious views of blue sky and glimpses of the sea.

Beautiful enigmatic setting
Aug 2019
There is so much history here but the location is really the outstanding part. The views from the cemetery are stunning and such be tried at different times of the day and night.

Very beautiful and peaceful
Aug 2019 • Solo
A very peaceful place with a beautiful view of Porthmeor Beach.
It was very interesting the headstones and of some of the people buried here.
Some were Master Mariners, where others had served in the wars, especially one of Mary Gyles Andrews whom served in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force.
The surname ‘Carbines’ featured very heavily here so presumably this family name is heavily associated with St. Ives.
The beautiful gravestone of the late Artist, Alfred Wallis, was also lovely to look at.

Is there a church to this cemetry?
Aug 2019 • Family
As a little girl on holiday I remember being here with my family saying we would like to be buried here when our time is up but I wondered if there is a church here too? I thought there was but I was young or maybe getting confused with another. St.Ives is stunning.

My G.Grandfather, William Veal, is buried there. If I remember correctly his Gravestone Cross was the tallest in the cemetery. Is there a photo of this
please ?

Hi Roger. I visited the cemetery this week and have posted some photos that may be of interest to you. Not only William Veal, but also a few other Veals who may well be related. The cross is by no means the tallest, though it is at the higher part of the graveyard.

Walked around this graveyard for a couple of hours looking for Alfred Wallis grave, did'nt find it and ran out of time. Can anyone advise me roughly where it is so I can find it on my next visit. Thanks.

Hi, the grave is on the lower level of the cemetery, coming from the Tate, not far from the chapel, sorry I cant be more precise.
