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
for those from the locality who wish to be buried
in the|| ||||||||||village of Chipperfield
now that the churchyard
is full.|| ||||||||||The Diocese ofSt.Albans has a policy ofnot extending
its churchyards,|| ||||||||||and so it was clear that the Project Group would have to find suitable
land,|| ||||||||||obtain planning
permission
and establish a new burial ground.|| ||||||||||The Trust became a charity on 4~ January 2017 —with a Charitable|| ||||||||||Incorporated
Organisation
set up to be the holder ofthe land forming the|| ||||||||||future
burial ground.|| ||||||||||The Trust has never employed
staff.
