Our churchyard is a beautiful open space next to Minchinhampton Common.
If you have ever been a member of Minchinhampton Church, or you live in the parish, you have a right to be buried here. If you would like your loved one to be buried here, please ask your funeral director to be in touch with our Benefice Office (01453 889004 – admin@minchchurch.org.uk).
