==Old Protestant or Agram Cemetery==
Police Reserve Lines Richmond Road, Bangalore
This cemetery is under the control of the ASC Officers' Mess and permission from them is needed to enter the cemetery. There are Protestant graves from 1813 to 1867. When I last visited it in 1994, it was extraordinarily overgrown, even by Indian standards. However, since then, Admiral Dawson has done a fantastic job cleaning it up and documenting it. Ronnie Johnson has created a [http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=684&s_id=197|database of the headstones in this cemetery].

==Richmond Road, Bangalore==
This cemetery is under the charge of the Cathedral of St Francis Xavier and is still in use. However, maintenance is very poor as it covers several congregations and nobody is willing to pay for its upkeep. When it rains, deep furrows are made and stones moved. Burial registers are kept at the Cathedral, but they do not give grave locations.
