Join us for this walk around Woodbury Park Cemetery where you’ll hear about the history of the cemetery and the lives of some of the everday people who rest there.

Woodbury Park Cemetery opened in September 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 mortuary garden for the local Anglican congregation. The cemetery is the final resting place of over 6,000 people from all ages, classes and backgrounds of Victorian society; from paupers to priests and servants to shopkeepers.
