St Bede's church is located to the north side of an almost square section of land bordered to the west by Kingsway, to the south by Leigh Avenue, and to the east and north by the road which goes by the name of Appleton Village.
The graveyard is located in the south east corner of this square section of land, i.e. on the corner formed by Leigh Avenue and Appleton Village. It is not visible from the church as it is hidden by the primary school, other buildings and trees. It is also not obvious from outside on the roads at the south east corner as the roads are lower than the graveyard, the graveyard being retained by a very high sandstone wall. The distance from the church to the graveyard is less than 100 yards.
