Yes. Harmondsworth Burial Ground sits in Harmondsworth village, near the Great Barn and St Mary’s church, and is maintained by Hillingdon Council. Its older stones weather in the open, gathering lichen, moss and a general grey film that dulls the lettering. We clean graves and headstones by hand, using stone-safe methods and following the council’s rules.
About Harmondsworth Burial Ground
Harmondsworth Burial Ground is a small village burial ground maintained by the London Borough of Hillingdon, in the historic village beside the Great Barn and St Mary’s church. Long-running proposals for a third Heathrow runway affect this village, which is worth knowing if you are thinking about long-term access to a family grave here.
Access: Maintained by Hillingdon Council, so memorial work follows council rules, and the churchyard setting beside St Mary’s means a careful, low-key approach. The village lies within the area affected by Heathrow expansion proposals, so check current access before travelling far.
- Administered by
- London Borough of Hillingdon
Permission: memorial work here is governed by London Borough of Hillingdon. In practice the registered grave owner’s consent is what we ask for, and we work to the site’s own memorial rules — see their memorial guidance, or our guide to who needs permission to clean a grave.
