Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1884, but we don't know whether or not it is still open. This may be the burial ground associated with St Mark's Church at Handley, or perhaps for a much wider area. The nearest 'old' settlement is Woolley Moor. It is not clear whether it is still open, but it looks to be a pleasing resting place. It is listed in Derbyshire Record Office's catalogue of Cemetery Records as Stretton Cemetery, and a transcription of memorials exists for the period 1884-1997. Kelly's Directory of 1932 records the cemetery as being of half an acre, with two mortuary chapels, under the control of a burial board of six members. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is/was located at OS grid reference SK3813361392. You can see this on various mapping systems.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
