New burial ground for Charfield Parish

Work has now started on creating a burial ground on the land next to the old church in Churchend kindly donated by the Earl of Ducie some years ago. KLH Landscaping and Absolute Archaeology are already on site carrying out excavations. Charfield Parish Council is very pleased that the Severn Vale Forum has allocated a grant of £2,000 which will be used to help setup the operational arm of the facility.

Local Councillor, Sandra O’Neill , who attended the Forum meeting said, “I am so pleased with this extra financial help. The Parish Council has been raising money for the burial ground since 2007. It is a beautiful place for loved ones to be laid to rest locally, next to the lovely old church with a wonderful view."
