Extension to Henfield Cemetery

In 2004 Henfield Parish Council acquired land to the north of the Cemetery so that it could be extended when necessary. Council decided in 2018 to begin the process of bringing the extension into use. Utility, Groundwater and Topographical Surveys have been undertaken and pathways and planting to include some mature trees have been planned.
Please see below for a timeline of progress for the works.
