Friends of the Farnham Cemeteries
- Grave rubbing
Are you interested in helping to preserve the history and ecology of the local cemeteries for future generations? If so, why not become a member of the 'Friends of Farnham Cemeteries'.
Farnham Town Council would like to set up a 'Friends of the Farnham Cemeteries' Group.
The Friends of Farnham Cemeteries will be independent of the council and will be able to undertake projects such as:
- record the inscriptions on historic monuments
- help maintain the upkeep and appearance of the cemeteries
- general tidying, cleaning, pruning and weeding
- preserving and conserving wildlife
- cataloguing and managing tree population
- recommending cemetery improvements
A 'friend' wouldn't have to do all these projects, but only those that interested them.
Count Butterflies in West Street Cemetery
Between April and September every week 'friends' will be counting the number of butterflies they spot. A rota system and suggested route have been placed on the Cemetery noticeboard.
