According to the burial register the last burial in the churchyard was on 24-Mar-1900 and the first in the new cemetery on 25-Apr-1900.
Wellow & Shoscombe Cemetery
Entrance gates to Wellow & Shoscombe Cemetery
The cemetery is about 1km west of the western limit of Wellow along Wellow Lane. Parking is in the lane by the entrance gates. It is a roughly rectangular area with a central path running north-west to south-east. There is no mortuary chapel although a map suggests that, at one time, one was planned. The graves are arranged in a grid with an area close to the gates for cremated remains. Rows A-G form the 'unconsecrated' section and rows J-P the 'consecrated' section.
The cemetery is administered by a burial board and is open for new burials as well as burial of ashes.
