Cemetery
At the top of the hill in King Street is the entrance to the cemetery, which was consecrated in 1860 by the Bishop of Winchester. By 1859 the churchyard was full and a new burial ground was needed.

Headstones laid down at memorial check
Work has now been completed on the checks, and stabilisation of the monuments (chiefly headstones) which were identified as being hazardous to visitors to the burial ground.
45 memorials were identified as posing a risk, 21 have been made safe. However 24, (listed below) proved to have insufficient foundations to enable the headstone to be restored to the horizontal, and unfortunately these have had to be laid down. This is not to infer that these stones could not be restored, but due to the cost involved, this would have to be undertaken by the registered owners.
