Cemeteries
The parish churchyard served as the burial ground for the parish until 1883 when a civil cemetery was opened because the churchyard was full. The burials in the churchyard were recorded in the Parish Registers. Most of the tombstones have disappeared or are unreadable. There are a few left in the church yard which are readable.

The list of burials in the civil cemetery is held by the current parish clerk, Westwood Parish Clerk to the Council. For current contact information for this individual you should visit the Westwood Parish Council website's Parish Councillor List.
