The church has/had a graveyard.

1970 - Graves at the parish church uncovered and removed to St Helens Borough Cemetery. What exists now now is a large plot at St Helens cemetery which contains the remains of everyone from the Parish church. It's plot 17/18, apart from the odd Armed Forces stone all that's there to indicate the burials is a stone plinth reading, "Within this plot lie the remains of persons formerly laid to rest in the burial ground of the Parish church of St.Helen and reinterred in December 1970."

The monumental inscriptions for this church cemetery are contained in the libary at the Society of Genealogists in London.
