I am keen to learn about the lives of those laid to rest in the old Queens Road Cemetery in East Grinstead where it is believed almost 4,000 are buried. The cemetery has been closed for a number of years to the public due to landslip because of the topography of the land (being on a slope) and the historic presence of badgers in the cemetery which have rendered parts of the land hazardous for walking. I am passionate about restoring the Cemetery to allow relatives / friends to pay their respects in safe & serene surroundings. To that end, i am looking to start a "Friends of East Grinstead Cemeteries" and apply for funding. in order to achieve the funding in particular, i want to show that all lives matter and that everyone has a story - so if you have any stories and/or photographs you would be willing to share or you wish to be a part of setting up and running the "Friends" group - please get in touch
