It seems that deaths at the asylum were buried in the grounds, in the 1990's the asylum which was then called St Mary's hospital closed and the graves were moved does anyone know where too, this is an enquiry for a friend who's grandmother was in the asylum and died there. Many thanks

Mentioned here,

Take time to peruse the graveyard. On the north side are the 2,000 burials from St Marys Hospital, in the south gravestones of locals. Regard the preaching cross, and perhaps enter the Church of St Mary the Virgin.
