Becoming a Friend

The Friends support the cemetery in many ways. Practical things like tree planting and care, gardening, kids club, walks and talks and meetings are obvious, but there are many more ‘behind the scenes’ things too. For example, we have doubled the number of listed monuments from 3 to 6 in recent years. We record the plants and wildlife and have investigated its history and the people buried here. We even have a poet in residence. There is a great deal of collaborating with those who administrate. We are the cemetery’s eyes and ears on a daily basis – keeping it a safe and beautiful place
