- As the 'Burial Authority'
North Lopham Parish Council is responsible for the Burial
Ground. This is the area to the west of the Church -
leading towards the water tower (excluding the area of
orchard, which is in private ownership). The area
immediately adjacent to the Church - at the front, rear
and east side - is under the care of the Church.
- The Burial Ground regulations
and current table of charges are available here (in .pdf format).
- In line with Health and Safety
recommendations the Memorial Stones are inspected and
those considered to be in imminent danger of toppling are
lowered to the ground. Every effort will be made to
contact those responsible for the Memorials so that they
are aware of the problem and can make arrangements to
have the Memorials professionally repaired. If contact
cannot be made, the Burial Authority will decide how best
to deal with the situation.. It is likely that the base
of the stones will be buried about 15 inches into the
ground (making them stable); in this way no damage will
be caused and re-instatement could be carried out at a
later date. The latest inspection report can be viewed here (in .pdf format).
- Please contact the Clerk to
the Parish Council if you have any queries. See contacts for details.
