The village churchyard reached capacity many years ago, so a cemetery was established. The land for the current cemetery, "God's Acre", was donated by Henry Bankes in 1924 and vested in trustees. The trustees continue to manage the cemetery to this day. All those involved in the running of the cemetery live within the village. The current cemetery, which covers an acre and a third, is nearing capacity and will be seen to have lasted some 80 years. The Parish Council has purchased the adjoining field to the current cemetery, from the National Trust. The Parish Council has agreed with the God's Acre Trustees that they continue to manage the extended cemetery on a day-to-day basis.
