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
First and Second World Wars; once these are returned and final works to the chapel completed, we will be looking to hold a small opening event. We would like to invite relatives of those commemorated on the war memorial and therefore ask relatives to contact the Parish Office if they would like to be present at the event. We would like to offer our thanks to all those who have helped with the renovations, especially the Countesthorpe and Foston Heritage Group. The inside of the building has been transformed.
