Closed churchyards

A closed churchyard is a churchyard with no room for any new coffin burials that has been formally closed by order of the Privy Council.

  • All Saints' Church, Old Glossop
  • Christ Church, Tintwistle
  • Holy Trinity Church, Edale
  • St Anne's, Bath Road, Buxton
  • St Edmund's Church, Castleton

  • St John's, Manchester Road, Buxton
  • St John's Church, Charlesworth
  • St Peter's Church, Fairfield

Please contact the church if you have a query about burial records for a churchyard and contact the parks team to report a problem with the grass.
