Busy day with Deutsche Bank.
The team from Deutsche Bank worked really hard today and revealed several grave sites and headstones that have not seen the light of day for many years. Well done team and as many of you were ‘returners’ we hope to see you next spring.
If you want to see how much work they actually did, follow this link.

A great sunny Litter Pick
Our thanks to the 13 volunteers who helped with today’s Litter Pick. Together we collected 18 bags of mainly wind blown litter.
It was noticeable that the squirrels and birds have created havoc in some areas as they desperately searched for water during the hot weather. It’s hard to know which flowers and ornaments belonged on each grave so our apologies for any misplaced items. If you have a grave in the cemetery can we suggest that you visit and check for any damage.
6th September Litter Pick.
Our September Litter Pick takes place tomorrow, the 6th . Everyone welcome. Meet on the main drive opposite the Lodge ready to set off at 10am. We have the pickers and the bags so come along for a stroll around in the sunshine whilst helping to keep the cemetery litter free.
