Bury Meadow Park

This little stop is arranged headed straight toward St David's Station and North Devon. As indicated by Alexander Jenkins, the name gets from 'Berry Mead' which most likely itself, originates from burh or earthwork as the Danes Castle attack earthworks are close by. Sir Edward Seaward, Mayor in 1691, was a primary supporter of Berry Bury Meadow by giving four-fifths of the land, and Margery Gould giving the rest of the City Chamber. Rental from the land went towards supporting the Exeter Workhouse.

Notwithstanding the second thoughts of local people, who thought other cemetery, somewhere else in the city ought to be opened, one hundred and fifty nine were entombed in Bury Meadow and thirteen of every a field in Pester Lane off Union Road close Sylvan Road. The cemetery was revived in 1833 and 1834 when cholera came back to city. In 1833, there were twenty extra internments and in 1834, fourteen entombments.
