I have a 'Grant of exclusive right of burial' for square no 00 (or it could read 80) no 10759 to my great grand-father John Mathew Price, having purchased a nine foot by 4 ft plot of land for the family grave. (not very big considering he had eleven children!) How would I find out if this still exists today and how long one has burial right s there? The stamp says 16.4 1867 and it appears that regular installments were paid until it was used in 1889 to bury him.
 
Darr you can email the Cemetary for information, be warned though i have just done this to find a family plot and although they did this free of charge they advised any more checks would cost me £19 per half hour, i'll just find the email address for you and send it in a message.
