New 1980s headstone on the grave of John Frost.

In 1877 the graveyard became the resting place of Newport Chartist John Frost. Although Frost's grave site was lost for many years, in the 1980s a new headstone was created and re-erected on the site, with the aid of a grant from Newport City Council. The new headstone was unveiled by Neil Kinnock.[2][3] There are also war graves of 17 British and two Canadian service personnel of World War I, and a Royal Navy sailor of World War II.[4]
