Hi Lizzie
I believe from my study of local history there would not have been a priory or other monastic institution in that area. The closest would have been Birkenhead Priory, Burscough Priory and Norton Abbey near Runcorn. The Victorians were very fond of using medieval or ancient sounding names, and of course you have Fountains Road up your way named after Fountains Abbey and other street names after abbeys as well I think.

as far as I know there are no 1700,s graves that are marked, there were
graves moved from other cems, but again they are unmarked.
The Cem opened in 1863 and margaret place was 1st to be buried.
There was a building on the site as when they dig a new grave often
bits of stone come up. They have just started to use section CE16 by
the cherry lane entrance and when they were clearing the area they
removed huge blocks of stone

Been mooching around Anfield Cemetery today (as you do!) .......... .in section C/E 6 (think that's right!) there seem to be a lot of flat gravestones which are mostly overgrown but a few have been uncovered, some are raised........I have copied some inscriptions as best I could. Can anyone shed any light??
