Vineyard Passage Burial Ground

Vinyard Passage Burial GroundThe Burial Ground which is close to the centre of Richmond was declared a public open space and a garden of rest in 1964 but sadly became unkempt and prone to litter and graffiti as the years passed by. A group of residents who are Trust members joined together in 1995. Since then they have worked to restore the Burial Ground to a sanctuary of peace and beauty. Graves were cleared and weeded; walls, monuments and headstones were restored; new shrubs, trees and bulbs were planted – a wild, woodland garden has been created.

New volunteers are always welcome. We need:

  • Helpers at the litter picks on the first Saturday of every month – just turn up at 10.30 am with a plastic bag.
  • Helpers for the annual fundraising cake sale – people who will deliver leaflets in the area, bake cakes and help to sell them on the day.
  • People who know about plants and trees and who are willing to get their hands dirty.
  • People with fundraising experience whose skills can support new ideas and project.
