Churchyard
- As registered charity (1113731), formed by a group of parishioners, other persons from outside
the parish and some from outside Nelson. Members of the group are volunteers, working to
restore the churchyard and combat the depredations of the pernicious Japanese Knotweed
and also damage done by vandals. Many members have relatives interred in the churchyard
and have a heartfelt personal interest in restoring the dignity of this sanctified ground.
Some members are physically involved in the work, but most support the endeavour by fundraising
or by personal donations.
