Barrowby Parish Council is the Burial Authority for the Burial Ground and all enquiries should be made, in the first instance, to the Clerk To The Parish Council on 07710 087124

Visitors are asked to take care when parking their vehicles adjacent to the school entrance so as to avoid blocking access by visitors to the school or access by emergency vehicles.

In the interests of visitors safety, visits should not be made during the hours of darkness as no supplementary lighting is available.
