Welcome to Almeley

Churchyards are set apart for the reverent burial of parishioners: those whose names are on the church Electoral Roll and those who die in the Parish. These churchyards are therefore part of our Christian faith and heritage.

The character of the churchyard depends on that of all the memorials within it: no one of those should spoil that general appearance. Churchyards have to be maintained by the parish for centuries to come. This means that memorials should be designed to allow for that maintenance to be as simple as possible.

In order to do that the Diocese of Hereford publishes a set of Regulations as to what is allowed. The current Regulations which repeal and replace the existing Regulations apply throughout the Diocese of Hereford and have been approved by the Chancellor after consultation with the Diocesan Advisory Committee on 17th January 2008 and shall come into force with effect from 1st July, 2008.
