Nightingale Cemetery (Godalming Old Cemetery)
Deanery Road, Godalming, Surrey
Nightingale Cemetery was opened in 1857 to relieve the pressure on the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul. After one hundred and forty years of use, it was closed in 1998 to new burials, which now take place in Eashing Cemetery opened in 1900. These are also known as the old and new cemeteries respectively. Both cemeteries are operated jointly by Busbridge Parish Council and Godalming Town Council. The cemetery commands very nice views over the town of Godalming and the surrounding countryside. The now-deconsecrated chapel is home to a charity providing skill training for young people.
There are 8 First World War military burials in the cemetery. The grave of Charles Burchatt and family is shown in the right hand photograph.
