St. Martin's Graveyard

Graveyard Update Autumn 2025

The rules about what decorations and monuments are permitted in our churchyard are set by the Diocese and can be found on our website. Please do be careful with vases and other items left on graves – china, glass and plastics can be degraded by the weather and become very hazardous for anyone working around them. Our staff and volunteers should be able to work safely and without harassment as they maintain our grounds. We are always grateful for offers of help and for those families who maintain their own plots. We receive no external financial support for the upkeep of the churchyard, the cost is borne entirely by the church. 

Many thanks

St. Martin's
