An extract below is from the 'God's Acre' site to summarise its mission. Please see also the link to its website for more detailed information.
There are over 20,000 burial grounds in England and Wales, ranging from small rural medieval churchyards to large Victorian city cemeteries, spanning different cultures, religions and centuries.
For many people burial grounds are the only locally accessible green space. However, their heritage value, and even their continuing presence, cannot be taken for granted. They are under threat from development, closure, under management and mismanagement.
Join the movement. Let’s keep burial grounds beautiful, accessible and connected to their communities.
