Holy Trinity Graveyard (extension) In the 1770s Holy Trinity created in this area an extension to the original overcrowded graveyard around the church. In 1857, following the opening of London Road Cemetery by Coventry Corporation, most burials here ceased. Excavations in 1999-2000, as part of the Phoenix Initiative, uncovered about 1,850 complete burials. These remains were re-interred in the old London Road Cemetery in June 2000. The construction of the timer bell tower in the mid 1850s and of the Holy Trinity Church Centre in the 1970s disturbed many of the gravestones. Those surviving in 1999 were recorded and details may be consulted in the Priory Visitor Centre. Some gravestones have been preserved at the top of the bank next to the house in Priory Row.
