Attached are the general regulations that relate to churchyards. These are different to cemeteries. If you are caring for the grave of a loved one, please ensure you are familiar with these regulations and abide by them.

No plastic flowers are permitted. The regulations from the Diocese do allow silk flowers to be permitted, as stated in Part lll of the Churchyard management plan. These regulations do also state that ''these can be removed by the PCC without notice''. On Churchyard tidy days, if they look unsightly, they can be removed.

If you have any questions about the regulations, please contact the churchwardens in your parish in the first instance. If necessary, Fr Chris Giles (Rector of the Benefice) will try to assist. 

There are leaflets available in some of the churches (currently Kedington, Gt Bradley, Great Thurlow and Little Thurlow and Great Wratting) which summarise these regulations. Please do take a leaflet home.
