Moreton Cemetery

About

The New Cemetery was opened on 3rd Dec 1930 and on 21st May 1935 Lawrence of Arabia (T E Lawrence) was buried here. His grave can be found at the end of the brick path. In 1956 the present entrance porch was erected. This had previously been the entrance to the Frampton House Kitchen Garden but had been damaged during the war. Each side of the entrance are two tablets which came from the obelisk on Fir Hill and are a memorial to James Frampton (who rebuild the church in 1776) after he died in 1784. This porch is Listed as a Grade II monument. Across the road is the unique Saint Nicholas Church featuring the world largest collection of Sir Laurence Whistler's engraved glass windows. A must see for all art lovers and is a beautifully peaceful place.
