Christ Church burial ground

Christ Church's burial ground is a haven of peace and quiet and is the resting place of many generations of Swindonians. Photographs of many of the graves are available on Duncan and Mandy Ball's excellent website and we have drawn out a plan of the church grounds to make it easier for visitors to find their way around.

In memoriam

At the East end of the church just in front of the Lady Chapel you can find a memorial book which lists the names of those who died and are buried at Christ Church. Visitors can light a candle to remember a loved ones but those who cannot visit us can check this page which should display the names of those who have died on this day.

Burial database

We have over 7,500 records of burials and commitals of ashes dating from 1907 to present. Unfortunately not all the information is available for all the records. If there is no Grave reference number but there is a book number then you may be able to find out more information by contacting the parish office.
