Change to Cemetery closing times.
As expected, the closing time for the cemetery will change on the 1st October as the evenings draw in.
Heritage Open event
Despite the rain (hopefully it will stop) our open event today will still go ahead. Doug will still talk, the trails will be set up and the research will be on view. What else will you do on a rainy day? Bring a brolly. The trail is wheelchair/ push chair friendly. 
HERITAGE OPEN EVENT THIS SUNDAY 19TH
At last the culmination of our Heritage Open Week. Members of the committee of the Friends will be at the Lodge on the main drive between 11am and 2pm with displays of historical research and a talk by local historian, Doug Smith to give everyone a chance to sit down ! (This will probably be outside but under cover).
Tea, coffee and cake will be available. Most of the event will be outdoors but we will be asking the public to wear masks in the Lodge when viewing displays, as it is a confined space
We will also be providing a self led walk on site, to point out some of the history of the cemetery and points of interest. If you can’t make it today then the link above will remain on our site so you can download it and complete it at your leisure.
Fascinating Photographic Session
Our thanks to Gerald for his tips and techniques. Watch this Web site to see the results in the near future. 
Final session with Caring for God’s Acre in 2021
Heritage Week event represents our last outdoor memorial recording session with George. Next comes the nitty gritty of transferring it all on to a data base. On site again in 2022 so watch this space.
Sunshine for our Heritage Tree Walk
Great turn out today for our first Heritage Week activity.
22 people spent several hours today enjoying the trees and the environment that is Brandwood End Cemetery. 
Our thanks go to Dean Paul for such an interesting and informative walk and special thanks to all those that attended, for supporting us in Heritage Week.
Tree Walk this week.
Just a reminder that Ranger Dean will be leading a ‘tree walk’ in the cemetery at 1pm this Wednesday the 15th. No need to book , just meet at the Lodge on the main drive. This is the first event in our Heritage Open Week (The Bat walk sneaked in early!) Stout footwear advised.
All our Section Markers are sparking now!
We gave a shout out for someone to wash all the dirty Section Markers in the cemetery and Rebecca and young David stepped up- and what an amazing job they did. Well Done. This has been such a help to make the cemetery look loved for Open Day on the 19th.
Bowen Memorial restored
Great restoration by Mark Brady of the ‘Bowen Memorial’ . Well done Mark !
