About the Memorial Garden

The Memorial Garden, also known as the Garden of Remembrance, is a walled area within Chilton Cemetery where plaques can be installed in memory of loved ones.

This area offers a quiet and respectful place for reflection. Plaques may be installed for people who are not buried within the cemetery, or as an additional memorial for someone already remembered elsewhere.

The garden is intended to be a peaceful place of remembrance, and visitors are asked to help keep it tidy and respectful for everyone.
