Access
This is a small burial ground with multiple burial plots. The site is not staffed.
- The overall ground surface around all the burial plots is uneven and particular care is needed around these areas.
- The parish council has a duty to preserve biodiversity requiring sensitive management of the burial ground.
- Grass is cut twice a month during the growing season weather permitting.
- Paths of short grass will be cut throughout the site to aid movement.
- Grass around the burial plots will be cut to maximise resistance to drought.
- Areas of longer grass will be left around the perimeter to encourage wild flowers and biodiversity.
- Visitors to the burial site need to be aware that weather conditions can affect grass growth which can be very vigorous. Strong grass growth between cuts may at times make it more difficult to negotiate areas of uneven ground.
- Care is also needed when it is wet.
- The parish council strongly recommends that visitors keep to the cut paths wherever possible.
