Cemetery Welcomes Spring

It's still there

Although Newtown Road Cemetery is closed to enforce Government guidelines, it is still there! A walk a long Newtown Road shows the cemetery getting ready for the most beautiful time of the year there. This Sunday (19th) should have been our first Welcome day of the year with tours and displays.

Let's look forward to when we can show it at its best.
