Britain's What's On Event Guide
Self directed tour of Havant Cemeteries
Heritage Open Day: Havant has a wealth of interesting Cemeteries and this guided walk will introduce you to a number of former citizens each with an interesting story to tell. The original St Faith’s church was built about 1150 on what may be the site of an earlier Saxon church. The adjoining graveyard provided the parish of Havant with its only burial ground for those of any religious denomination. The parish records covering the period from 1653 to 1851 record some 6,000 burials there and from this figure it has been estimated that the graveyard could well contain the remains of over 20,000 people. By the 1850s, it was decided that no more burials could be carried out there so a new site would have to be found.
