Stoney Cross, Bideford lies within the EX 39 postal district of Devon. The locality is noted for its proximity to the East‑the‑Water Cemetery, also known as Bideford Church Cemetery, which historically served as the Church of England burial ground for East‑the‑Water, a former village that has become a suburb of Bideford. The cemetery, situated on Barnstaple Road, is described as abandoned and neglected as of 2018, with its Victorian cemetery chapel in a dangerous state of disrepair and on the verge of collapse. Burials in Bideford now take place at Bideford Higher Cemetery. The information available highlights the historic character of the area and the presence of a significant but currently deteriorating heritage site. Residents and potential buyers in Stoney Cross may find the proximity to this historic cemetery of interest, though the site’s current condition suggests limited immediate amenities or attractions directly associated with it.
