Park Street Cemetery
Situated in the upper end of Park Street, the cemetery was consecrated in September 1834 by the Bishop of St. David’s on land donated by Thomas Meyrick of Bush. The cemetery contains many burials connected with the Royal Naval Dockyard.
It is also the resting place of Captain William Pryce Cumby RN.,C.B., who fought at the battle of Trafalgar. He served as a First Lieutenant on HMS Bellerophon and took command of the ship from the mortally wounded Captain John Cooke. Captain Cumby died in 1837 whilst serving as Captain Superintendent of the Royal Naval Dockyard at Pembroke Dock. Over the years the exact position of Cumby’s grave has been lost, and is remembered today by a plaque in the centre of the cemetery.
Queen Street West was renamed Cumby Terrace in 1906 to celebrate the memory of this famous naval officer.
