Church History We don't know when this Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded, but we understand it is still open. Honeybourne Cemetery occupies a long narrow plot lying behind the houses on the south side of Stratford Road. It is reached from Stratford Road by the same lane which leads to the old Church of St Ecgwin. It is not known when it was opened, but it can be seen for the first time on detailed Maps of 1971. On an earlier Map of 1923, the plot is shown to have been either an orchard, or small wooded area. The present village of Honeybourne is an amalgamation of two ancient parishes, named Church Honeybourne (in Worcestershire) and Cow Honeybourne, formerly in Gloucestershire. They were divided by the Roman Road of Ryknild Street, now a minor road. By the mid 19th century, however the Church in Cow Honeybourne had become disused, and inhabitants attended St Ecgwin's in Church Honeybourne. Probably burials always took place at St Ecgwin's, as the Church in Cow Honeybourne does not appear to have had a graveyard. In 1931, Cow Honeybourne parish was transferred from Gloucestershire to Worcestershire, and in 1953, the two Honeybournes were amalgamated. St Ecgwin's Church has also now closed, and no doubt this Cemetery has superseded its graveyard. 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 SP1204144202. 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.
