Yes. St Giles the Abbot churchyard on Church Road in Farnborough has been a burial ground since roughly 1000 AD, extended in 1854, and its older stones carry centuries of weather. We clean memorials there gently, using stone-safe methods, with the parish’s agreement in place first.
About St Giles the Abbot Churchyard, Farnborough
St Giles the Abbot is the parish church of Farnborough, in Orpington, and its churchyard on Church Road has been a burial ground since roughly 1000 AD, extended in 1854. It holds 13 Commonwealth war graves. The churchyard is administered by the parish, under the Diocese of Rochester, rather than by Bromley Council — it does not appear on the council’s own cemeteries list. New coffin burial there is restricted to parishioners and church members, but the 1956 Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains is open to all Bromley residents.
Access: Memorial work is arranged directly with the parish of St Giles the Abbot, not with Bromley Council, since the churchyard is cared for by the Diocese of Rochester rather than the council. New coffin burial plots are reserved for parishioners and church members, but the Garden of Remembrance opened in 1956 is open to all Bromley residents, and we can care for memorials there too.
