Cemetery Chapel Renovation
The Parish Council are in the process of buying the land adjacent to the cemetery on Foston Road for future cemetery provision. Restoration of the Chapel is also being considered and it is hoped that it can be opened to the public for quiet contemplation.
Visitors to the cemetery will have noticed the works taking place.
A new cremation area has been added at the end of the cemetery
to provide many additional plots.
A path has also been installed on the right hand side of the cemetery. This area is being landscaped to provide additional burial land.
