Cemetery Information
Kimbolton Cemetery
Kimbolton cemetery was established in the 1850s, when the cemetery at St Andrew’s churchyard was declared closed. The cemetery is in a delightful walled setting and contains a number of mature trees, mainly Wellingtonia, but the centrepiece is a magnificent Lebanon Cypress.
Charges are made for burials and memorials and the income from this is used for the upkeep of the cemetery.

Cemetery Safety
Cemeteries can be dangerous places, particularly where old headstones become unstable. In Kimbolton we are arranging for a Health and Safety inspection of all headstones and any which do not meet the requirements will be laid flat.
Nevertheless, please take care when in the cemetery and certainly do not allow your children to be there unsupervised.
Cemetery Regulations

Hand-Drawn Hearse
To the right a picture of Kimbolton’s hand-drawn hearse, introduced in the mid-1800s to enable coffins to be transported from the church to the cemetery along the narrow footpath, Carnaby. The hearse is still available to hire.
