St.Andrews Cemetery, Hexham
Stone Refurbishment has recently completed a £50,000 project for Hexham Council and architects, Crawford Higgins, at St Andrew's Cemetery in Hexham.
St Andrew's Cemetery dates back to 1859 when there were originally two chapels, one for burial services under the established Church of England, the other for other religions. Now only one Chapel is used for burial services. In 1972, the cemetery was extended when extra land was acquired by Hexham Council.
