Godstone Burial Ground at St Nicholas

st nicholas cemetery
Godstone Parish Burial Ground
 
Godstone Parish Council manages part of the cemetery located at St Nicholas' Church, Church Lane, Godstone. This part of the cemetery opened in 1964 and adjoins the original Churchyard which is now closed for burials.
​
The Burial Grounds are open at all times and are sensitively managed as place of peace and quiet reflection in a pleasant rural setting.
​
Grave spaces may be reserved by those living in the Parish (Parishioners) or who have lived in the Parish for a period of at least seven years (7-year Parishioners), and are normally sold on the basis of two full burials in each plot. There is a restriction on the number of non-Parishioner burials permitted in any one year, reviewed annually by the Parish Council.
​
Cremated remains may be added to graves where a full burial has already taken place, subject to permission from the Parish Council. Currently the Church still operates an area for cremated remains within St Nicholas' Churchyard, however a Memorial Garden for this purpose has already been established in the Burial Grounds in readiness for the time when the Church area is full.
​
Any enquiries regarding burials or reservation of grave spaces should be addressed to the Parish Clerk.

Allotments 2024

In Godstone Parish there is one allotment site in Godstone Village. The allotments are at the rear of Salisbury Road and owned by the Parish Council.

In August 2021, the Godstone Allotments Association (GAA) was formed to represent the interests of plot holders and see to the day-to-day issues involved in maintaining the allotments. This has strengthened the working relationship and the GAA now runs well-supported monthly meetings, generating great camaraderie between plot holders.

Allotment rents for the current growing season, 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 is £11.34 per 25 sqm with £33.08 minimum charge. 

Rents are set annually by the Parish Council and annual tenancy agreements are offered on the understanding that tenants comply with guidelines as laid out in the Terms & Conditions.
