Caistor Town Council will be carrying out safety checks on memorials and headstones in the churchyards of St Peter’s & St Paul’s, and the Congregational Chapel during November and December 2025
The inspections will be undertaken by trained staff to ensure the safety of visitors and staff. Where memorials are found to be unsafe, a notice will be placed and temporary safety measures may be taken. In very serious cases, memorials may be carefully supported or laid flat to prevent risk of harm.
In closed churchyards, it is often not possible to contact families of those commemorated. The Council will therefore take proportionate action to manage any immediate safety concerns with care and respect.
