<p>The Dissenters Graveyard in Exeter contains significant physical heritage related to the nonconformist tradition and includes a wealth of family and local history. It has been closed for public access for many years and had become very neglected and overgrown.&nbsp;</p>

Volunteers researched and surveyed the Exeter Dissenters Graveyard, supported by specialists. This work helped to identify and record the tombs and their condition. 

Interpretation material and a database of the tombs have been created.  This was followed by a series of open days for the community to have a look at the work.  These activities will allow for better management of the monuments and tombs; with the interpretation and open days allowing local people to learn about the heritage of the graveyard. 

The Exeter Dissenters Graveyard website has more information on the project.
