There are several burial sites and these are as follows: -

- The extension (EX followed by the relevant plot number - the extension is accessed from the south-west corner of the
   churchyard).
- The churchyard (no prefix, just the number of the plot), 
- Eridge Lane (EL followed by the relevant plot number) 

The location of the plot numbers for the churchyard and for the extension are shown on the maps.

The archivist is happy to give help if you need it and to try to provide you with any further information you can use to help you in tracing your family tree. Whilst there is no charge for this service, donations to the church fabric fund are always welcome. Should you wish to contribute your cheque should be made payable to 'St Denys' PCC' and sent to the Rector to pass on to the Treasurer. 

In addition, the Parish Magazine have archive magazines dating back to 1904. To view the collection click HERE.

Further names may be found in our Book of Remembrance which is located inside the church with a votive candle stand by it.
