• The Friends of St.John's 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.
