Henley Road Cemetery


Henley Road Cemetery was first opened in 1914 by the Mayor,
Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of Ludlow.

When Ludlow Borough Council ceased to exist in 1967
the Cemetery was passed to Ludlow Rural District Council
and thereafter to South Shropshire District Council.

On the 1st April 1987 Henley Road Cemetery
was transferred to Ludlow Town Council to be owned
and managed locally for the benefit of the people of Ludlow.

Cemetery Records


Information on the Cemetery is held within the Cemetery Registers, which are hand written records of burials from the Cemetery's opening in 1914 through to today. Each burial plot has its own record including grave purchaser, address and price at date of purchase; burials interred, date of burial and age of deceased. Members of the public are welcome to view the Cemetery Registers at The Guildhall, Mill Street, Ludlow by appointment with the Cemetery Officer, who can also provide assistance in locating burials.

Some of the oldest registers were recently restored to ensure their continued availability to the Council and public as working documents and reference material. 

 

Cemetery Layout



The Cemetery is made up of multiple areas, divided by paths, which include areas dedicated to different denominations, cremated remains plots and a babies memorial area, which is commemorated by a hand carved stone memorial.

Please note that DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED in the Cemetery Grounds 

 

Henley Road Chapel


In the centre of the Cemetery we have a small Chapel, that is avaliable for funerals, memorials and all other types of service. 

In order to preserve the tranquil feel of the chapel setting as a place where the memory of a person's loved ones can be treasured, visitors to the chapel are asked to adhere to a few basic guidelines which can be found in the Links at the bottom of the page.
