The church has a graveyard.
Barrow, though now a separate parish, was for some years dependent upon the mother-church of Dalton, and all its dead were carried thither for interment. The limited extent of the burial-ground attached to the church, and the increasing number of interments, soon rendered necessary another and more commodious cemetery. Accordingly a Burial Board was formed ; the site fixed upon was the high ground rising from the Abbey Road and overlooking the lower portion of the village, which is well adapted for the purpose.

There are three separate transcripts of the church MIs held in the Cumbria Record Office, Barrow.
- 1914 [selections only].
- 1932 (which includes detailed plans of the original locations of the gravestones, many of which have since been moved).
- c1980. Many of the gravestones (with the exception of the memorial to the painter George Romney) were moved from their original sites during the few months following the grant of a faculty dated 26 January 1965. They were relocated either as paving stones or close to the edges of the grassed-over churchyard.
After 1862, most interments took place elsewhere at Dalton Cemetery.
