Lenham Cemetery

Lenham Parish Council welcomes visitors to Lenham Cemetery. The Cemetery is a place for peace and reflection. Accordingly, we ask all users of the Cemetery to respect the needs of others and to follow these guidelines.

Lenham Cemetery opened in the 1890s. It contains 36 First World War burials and most of the graves are in a special war plot. Of the 49 Second World War burials, 46 are of R.E.M.E. personnel of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade workshop stationed between Lenham and Charing who were killed by a flying bomb on 24 June 1944. They lie together in another war graves plot. The remaining graves, together with that of a German airman, are in a small group in the cemetery.
