The documents relating to the purchase and consecration of the four pieces of land that make up the cemetery at Knowle Hospital are not in the public domain. They are held by the Registrar for the Diocese of Portsmouth. This person is currently a partner in Bruttons, a local firm of solicitors. The documents are held at their Fareham office. Over the course of the acquisitions, the diocese changes from Winchester to Southampton to Portsmouth and the parish varies between Fareham and Wickham.
