Berwick Parish Churchyard Tour : Some History and Monuments
Heritage Open Day: Enjoy a guided walk around this beautiful churchyard and discover the stories behind some of the monuments and the lives of those buried there as well on the Sunday about the flora and the environment. Until the opening of the Civic Cemetery in 1856, this was Berwick's only burial ground which was used by all denominations. Over the centuries many thousands of people have been buried there. The churchyard contains many monuments of all different shapes and sizes. Some were removed in 1972 but what remains provide a fascinating insight into Berwick's history and its many inhabitants.
