The Town Council’s Cemetery has a Commonwealth War Graves Section containing 69 graves dating from 1915. The graves are Royal Navy, Royal Flying Corps, Royal Air Force, Army, Canadian Air Force and German Air Force. There are 50 Commonwealth burials from WWI and a further 20 burials from WWII. In addition, there are 9 German burials and 6 non world war service burials. With funding from an Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant and information kindly provided by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who also maintain the war graves in this cemetery, an information board was installed to help recognise and remember the sacrifices faced by the Armed Forces and raise awareness among members of the public of the issues that affect the Armed Forces today.The Cemetery also houses a chapel, the only such chapel in Dorset, and one of the relatively few in Britain as a whole, to retain its original furnishings with little or no modification as well as a non-Anglican chapel which is used by the Town Council grounds men. If you are interested in visiting the chapel please return during the annual Dorset Architectural Heritage Week in September each year or contact us directly. Please do take a moment for reflection.
