Cemeteries and Graveyards Near Ringwood
Earlier, I wrote about the Ringwood Cemetery and Ringwood Churches.
Whilst visiting Ringwood earlier this month (September 2009), I explored the surrounding area for cemeteries and graveyards. Here are a few that I found:
BRANSGORE PARISH CHURCH
Bransgore parish has two churches: St. Mary's Church and All Saints Church.
St. Mary's Church, above, is in the village of Bransgore. It was built in 1823. The old part of its church yard is no longer maintained.
All Saints Church is near Thorney Hill, and was built in 1906. It is located east of Bransgore, just inside the New Forest.
Update: information about these churches has been consolidated in the Local Parish Guide section of this site.
IBSLEY PARISH CHURCH
Ibsley is about three miles north of Ringwood. The former parish church of St. Martin is a small red brick building at the corner of Mockbeggar Lane. It was built in in 1654, and deconsecrated in 1986.
Update: information about this church has been consolidated in the Local Parish Guide section of this site.
SOPLEY PARISH CHURCH
Sopley is on the road from Ringwood to Christchurch. The parish church of St. Michael and All Angels was built in 1137, on what probably was the site of an earlier Saxon church.
Update: information about this church has been consolidated in the Local Parish Guide section of this site.
SOPLEY CEMETERY
The Sopley Cemetery is maintained by Sopley Parish Council. It's north of Sopley on the road to Ringwood (B3347). The cemetery was opened in 1881.
At present, the Sopley cemetery registers are not available at the Hampshire Records Office.
A sign at the cemetery gate directs interested parties to contact Councillor John Eccles. His contact details can be found on the Parish Council web site:
