Many thanks Richard - that's exactly the kind of thing I was after.
Thank you to Sarah and Talya as well.

Jeremy Lake's book on Cornish chapels is probably your best published
source. Usually if a chapel has an attached burial ground it will be
marked as such on large scale early OS maps. As a general rule it is
best to assume an attached burial ground unless the chapel is in a
town
and was erected after the creation of a municipal cemetery. In such a
case burial will be within the cemetery, most likely, and indeed there
will probably be a corporation bylaw banning burial outside the
municipal facility. Many municipal cemeteries had designated areas
for
non-conformists, Methodists and RC.
In some rural parishes non-conformist burial grounds, especially
Society
of Friends, may be isolated and lie at some distance from the chapel
or
meeting house. In others burial was tolerated within the Anglican
churchyard. Relevant information should be available within the local
record office.
Hope this helps.
Richard
