Holy Cross Church Billesley

Hi All.
As a child we used to play at Holy Cross Church. Beauchamp Rd. Billesley. Birmingham and I am convinced that there were grave stones along the side of the Church, during discussions with locals some said they remember them, other not. The Church members said that there were no graves but the area has now been built on so its hard to prove, the vicar has only been there one year and knows nothing. Do any members of this site remember them?
 
I know Holy Cross Church and can remember it before the Community Centre was bulit on the side. There used to be a 'wooden hut' used for meetings before that. I can only remember the hut and car park, no grave stones but, maybe, they were there before then. I can only go back about 20 years.

Were they along the other side between the church and Brigfield road?
 
Hi There.
If you stand outside the front of Holy Cross Church they would have been along the LH side wall going towards the rear of the Church.
The time that I am talking about was 1950----60 .I enclose a pic of "the hut"
