Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded before 1923, and we understand it is still open. Ashleworth New Burial Ground is on a corner of the lane leading to Ashleworth Church, and thereafter to Ashleworth Quay. As can be seen from our photographs, it is planted with a fine collection of evergreens; and Google StreetView shows there is a pretty pink hawthorn on the left side of the entrance, via a lych gate. As late as 1923, according to Kelly's Directory of that year, Ashleworth Quay was a place on the River Severn for loading and unloading cargo. There was a ferry from there across the river to Sandhurst. Kelly doesn't mention the burial ground, but it is shown on an OS Map of that year, though not on the equivalent Map of 1903. The soil in the parish was said by Kelly to consist chiefly of lias clay, and in the lower portion closer to the river is "a fine tract of alluvial soil, containing some of the finest meadow and orchard land in the country, and celebrated for its dairy produce". The chief crops were wheat, beans and clover, and the parish contains 1,752 acres of fertile soil, and 14 of water. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is located at OS grid reference SO8178325312. 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.
