In 1877 the graveyard became the resting place of Newport Chartist John Frost. Although Frost's grave site was lost for many years, in the 1980s a new headstone was created and re-erected on the site, with the aid of a grant from Newport City Council. The new headstone was unveiled by Neil Kinnock.[http://www.newportpast.com/nfs/strands/frost/grave.htm "John Frost's Final Resting Place" at newportpast.com][http://www.newportpast.com/nfs/strands/frost/grave_stone.htm "John Frost's Headstone" at newportpast.com]
