Following another Churchyard Tidy Up session at the weekend, a number of ceramic objects, stones and other memorial objects have been removed from a few of the graves.Additional objects of this sort are not permitted under Churchyard Regulations.They can also be dangerous (and time consuming to move), for the different people who maintain the churchyard. The objects that have been removed have been left on the platform to one side of the Lych Gate, if you wish to retrieve them. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping to look after the Churchyard, to keep it a safe, fair and beautiful place for everyone to visit.
