There are around 220 names from St. Nicolas in the Index to the Surrey Monumental Inscriptions Library. WSFHS has a list of names for the churchyard, and an extract from Alfred Bax's notes for St Nicolas Churchyard taken in 1907.
The Mount cemetery was built as the overflow cemetery for the three Guildford churches when their churchyards closed in the 1850s and 1860s.
