St. Martin's Graveyard

Church Graveyard Update

Spring 2025

The Eco Church at St. Martin's have decided to have another year of leaving a section of the graveyard un-mowed for a few months so that it can become a small meadow, thus encouraging wildlife.

Graves at the top of Section F will not be mowed by our gardener during this time.

If you would like to maintain the grave of your loved one yourself during this time, you are of course, most welcome.

Signs will be put up in the churchyard explaining this, but due to wind and mischievousness, they may go missing! 

Our gardener and his helpers are doing a great job at keeping the graveyard and grounds looking smart. All sections have been mowed and strimmed.

Few churches have a paid gardener these days, so we are grateful to receive donations towards the upkeep of the grounds.

Aside from the graves in the wild flower meadow area, if the grave of your loved one becomes overgrown, please let us know, and we will tell the gardener.

Graves that have been fenced around by the family obviously cannot be mown by our gardener, and the same applies to graves that have ornaments or decorations on the top of the grave space. In these cases it is up to the family to maintain it.

We have, unfortunately, had a few instances of theft in the graveyard, so all grave ornaments/decorations are left at your own risk.

If you have any questions or queries about the graveyard, please get in touch.
