Special note for relatives and friends who have the cremated remains of loved ones buried in the churchyard

Holy Trinity Churchyard, Eccleshall

Cremated remains

There is to be a tidying of the area for cremated remains (north-east of the churchyard). This follows an inspection by the Archdeacon some months ago, and it is authorised by the Diocese of Lichfield (Faculty no. 3641, a copy of which can been seen in the church porch).

The purpose is to put the area back into the position it should be in: only plaques are permitted, and they need to be low enough to allow mowing.

This notice is to give families/next-of-kin the chance to make the changes themselves during January 2012, if they so wish. Alternatively, the church council will effect the change in February and March 2012.

This will involve the removal and disposal of all extraneous objects (e.g. borders, chippings, stones, planted shrubs/bushes), the lowering of tablets, the repositioning of flower-receptacles, and re-seeding.

Previous notification of this change has occurred in the parish magazine, and within the churchyard since April 2011.”

 

 

The church building and the beautifully maintained graveyard are certainly well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.

In common with the remainder of this small country town, the church contains many historic features some dating back to the 11th century.

Church life is not all of the time spent in the church and the members of the church have a pretty active social life.

In addition many of the groups meet in members homes such as the Bible Study Group.

 

Services are held every Sunday at 8am, 10am and 6.30pm here at Holy trinity with an 11.30am service held at our sister church St Chad's at Slindon
just down the road.

The Parish Room available for bookings

Our website endeavours to provide information on the present, the future and the
