It is possible that the missing plaque placed other members of families here. None of the names appear in the grave register.

Thomas was born in Cambridge to James & Hannah Nutter and baptised at St Peter’s church

Thomas ran the Beehive Brewery in King Street. He took over the brewery in Earl St and died in Emmanuel St. After his death his wife Mary ran the brewery until it was taken over by William Brewtey. Mary was born in West Wickham, birthplace of William Brewtey, and there my have been a family relationship which would explain why the Brewtey children were buried here. Mary Ann was also buried in this parish She died only 6 months after George and it was likely that she was buried here.
