Cemetery works

I visited as Malcolm Sargent was putting up the first memorial plaques in the cemetery. The idea is that people who have had an association with the village and died and who are buried elsewhere can have their links commemorated in this way. Its a nice development.

Malcolm is also sorting out the left hand gate. The retaining rod won't go down far enough making it hard to padlock when it is opened for a hearse to enter.

Memorial Plaques

There have been a number of requests for memorial plaques in the cemetery. These are small plaques that are erected on the oak portal to the memorial garden to commemorate individuals with a connection to Cranfield who aren't actually buried there. With people moving around so much, including during retirement they may not be buried where they have many memories.
