Woodbury Park Cemetery - An introduction to a Victorian gem
Heritage Open Day: 2024 is the 175th anniversary year of Woodbury Park so come and learn about the history of the cemetery and those who helped run it along with some of the local tradespeople who rest here. Woodbury Park Cemetery opened in October 1849 when space in the town's first parish churchyard, Holy Trinity in Church Road, began to run out. Today, the cemetery is Grade II listed as an early example of a garden cemetery for the local Anglican congregation. Woodbury Park Cemetery is the final resting place of over 6,000 people from all classes and backgrounds of Victorian society; from paupers to priests and servants to shopkeepers. Come and learn about the many people that were involved in the running of the cemetery and served the local community who now rest here.
