History:
Henley Road Cemetery opened in 1914. Hand written records are held at the Buttercross offices and are available to view by request Mon-Fri 9:30-4pm.
Layout:
The cemetery is made up of 17 areas, divided by paths, which include an area dedicated to Catholic burials, two cremated remains plots; and the Babies Memorial Area, which is commemorated by a hand carved stone memorial.
In the centre of cemetery there is a Chapel, which is available for use during funerals. The Chapel is illuminated with Memory Tree lights at Christmas.
Cemetery expansion:
Space for new graves is becoming limited at Henley Road. There is additional undeveloped space behind the car park. Councillors and staff are in the process of consulting with external organisations and experts in order to establish the best way to develop the site.
In order to preserve the kind of setting where the memory of loved ones can be treasured, everyone is asked to adhere to a few basic Cemetery Regulations. For further information regarding the cemetery please contact Veronica Calderbank, Town Clerk.
