## ## ## ||||The Chipperfield
Project Group was formed by volunteers
in 2011 when
it became clear at the annual
Parish Council meeting
that there were a| |---|---|---|---| ||||limited number ofspaces left for burials
in St. Paul's Churchyard
in
Chipperfield.
(No space for any new graves 2020 onwards)
The intention
ofthe Project Group (and now ofthe Trust) is that burials
will be able to continue forthose from the locality who wish to be buried| ||||in the village ofChipperfield
now that the churchyard
is full.

its churchyards,
and so itwas clear that the Project Group would have to find suitable| ||Summary ofthe main
