These adjoining burial grounds are both long closed. They were laid out as public gardens ca. 1885.

The Friends burial ground seems to have opened ca. 1697 and closed ca. 1855. The Back Street chapel seems to have opened ca. 1711 and some time around 1729 the chapel purchased a piece of land in Long Lane as a burial ground. Around 1829 the congregation moved to a chapel in Neckinger Road. About 1874 the chapel became a Baptist Chapel. It seems to have closed by 1855.
