The Parish Council has been busy in 2023 and 2024 trying to make sense of historical incomplete records and old data base information to map officially the cemetery based in Church Lane Danehill.

To review the online map please visit https://cemeterysearcher.co.uk/search/danehill

Please note the online map is updated yearly so new internments will not be noted just yet. Please also note there still remains some duplicates which cannot be removed yet as the data is similar but not exact enough to remove or decide which record to remove in case of doubt duplicates will remain. Please also note that there are a lot of older graves in the top half of the cemetery which cannot be mapped to an exact position as there are no recordings on the original maps and no headstone and therefore have been given a general location to log the data of the burial it is hoped by doing this people can research family history albeit the exact location cannot be determined.

Thanks to the History Society who have been instrumental in helping to map the area and recover historical archives.
