As Bunny Church dates back to the thirteenth
century, it is almost certain burials in the churchyard began before any
proper records were established. The churchyard is now substantially smaller
than it would have been originally, and recent research has suggested
some burial plots may have been reused as pressure for space grew in the
19th century.

The Bunny Millennium History Group recently undertook a project to produce
an accurate plan of the churchyard listing all of the grave plots. They
discovered the churchyard currently has 390 visible memorials remaining.
Of these, the earliest found dates back to 1702.
The Parish registers of burials shows there were 1269 burials in the
17th Century, 1133 burials in the 18th Century and 1037 burials in the
19th Century. Those from 1715 to 1899 have been transcribed and are now
available on this site.
