Burial Ground Reservations
The Parish Council are trying to clear up some confusion surrounding some reservations of plots in the Burial Ground.
The Clerk believes the plots in question were reserved in the 1940’s and 1950’s, but there are no names or dates in the records that could indicate who the plots are reserved by, or even if they are definite reservations !
The Council are trying to clarify the situation. If they can find who has reserved the plots, then they will happily keep them free. However, if they can’t find out who reserved the plots, then the Council will start using them, as pressure on space in the Burial Ground is high.
If you think that one of your family may have reserved a plot in the Burial Ground, or if you can help in any way at all about the reservations, please contact the Clerk, Helen Tonks, on 01285 640718, or email her via
Ampney Crucis Burial Ground
(Click on the photos to enlarge)
|
|
The Ampney Crucis Burial Ground appears to have been opened in the 1870s – 1875 is the year shown on the earliest legible gravestone.
There are about 200 graves, but sadly a great many of the headstones are illegible. |
|
The Burial Ground is administered and maintained by the Parish Council, and any queries relating to burial plots should be addressed to the Clerk to the Parish. |

The following schedule lists all gravestones dating from 1875 up to 1950, and on which the inscriptions are still legible. By clicking on the family name you can also call up a photograph of that gravestone.
As many of the more recent deceased still have family and friends living in the village, they are not included on the list. However, for people searching for relatives, an (incomplete) list of all the family names appears at the bottom. Please contact us via the e-mail link if you need further information about these. |
