Photography

From 1 July 2025 we will no longer be permitting wildlife photography within the cemetery grounds.

The recent influx of photography has had a detrimental effect on the wildlife within the cemetery, in particular to our bluebells and fox population. A number of clubs were abandoned by the vixen due to the number of photographers near their den.

There have also been incidents where cemetery staff have been verbally abused when challenging photographers and we have received numerous complaints from bereaved visitors. 

The site staff have the discretion to ask anyone to leave the cemetery grounds if it is deemed that their behaviour is a nuisance, disrespectful and/or affecting the day-to-day operation of the cemetery and crematorium as per Article 3(1) of the Local Authorities' Cemeteries Order 1977.

Strictly no drone usage is permitted on site.
