161 members of the Religious Society of Friends were buried on this small piece of land according to the plaque, next to the old barn (now a private house) where George Fox once preached, or 188 according to the Wikipedia article below, ending in 1790. There are no headstones visible. There is a public footpath adjacent.

There is some information about the burials, and background history, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godalming_Friends_Meeting_House. The only person buried here who is named in the article is Thomas Patching, who died shortly after being arrested for non-payment of tithes in 1660. He had owned Binscombe Manor, and the barn and burial ground were his.
