General details here
On Saturday 14th September, Honley Civic Society will hold a one to one and a half hour tour of Honley graveyard with a description of some (but not all) of the more notable village people buried there.
Meet at Honley Graveyard at Green Cliff for a 10.30am start.
The ground is uneven and the tour will keep to the main paths. The event is free but, as there is no parking in the immediate area, a short walk from the village centre via Church Street is required.
