Trinity
Churchyard is the final resting place of nearly 16,000 people
buried here since 1860 in the 5 1/2 acre site around the church
building. (the churchyard predates the present building).
The churchyard is now closed
to any new graves being dug as it is full, however, burials will
continue to take place in existing graves with space. The internment
of ashes will also continue both in existing graves and the special
Garden of Remembrance.
There are 15 war graves in the
churchyard. Families of those buried in the churchyard are responsible
for the upkeep of both the memorial (headstone) and the grave
space, according to the churchyard regulations. |
