There is little trace of the original cemetery, as the church (of 1740) was pulled down in 1873, and a new one built in 1874 further down the street, where it was later incorporated into St. Peter's College, Oxford, as its college chapel. Burials in the graveyard were disallowed from 1855, in favour of use of the new civil cemeteries. There is no graveyard in the college, but there are three sources of information:

1. Memorial tablets from all three buildings (pre-1740, 1740-1873, and 1874- ) exist inside the current chapel.

Excavations during the renewal of Bonn Square in 2008 found many remains, and were recorded in detail by the archaeologists. Photos and text of inscriptions are online at the Oxfordshire Family History Society - http://monuments.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/opb/menu.htm
Further information and photos of the excavation are at the Oxford History Society - http://www.oxfordhistory.org.uk/burials/bonn_square
