Once a burial ground for Poole, it has been developed as green space within a road system. Headstones have been moved to stand along a wall and no sign of original graves is visible. Poole Council (now Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole authority) have been unable to track down records to inform what happened but a (incomplete) list of burials has been provided by Dorset History Society
In July 1781 the ground was consecrated: the last burial took place there in 1875. It was leased to the Rector of St. James, the parish church of Poole, in 1777, and was held by successive rectors until 1948 when the lease was surrendered to the Town Council.
As the churchyard of St James became fully occupied a large field at Hunger Hill was purchased.
Consecrated 3 July 1781 by the Bishop of Chester, (later Bishop of London) Dr Beilby Porteus.
