Green Lane Cemetery, Farnham

The Chapel could seat up to 80 people but had little use in recent years and was sold by Farnham Town Council for use as a Meeting House for the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

[2] The cemetery has 13 military burials, two from World War I and eleven from World War II, the latter including two pilots – P/O Evelyn Creen Stuart Wilson-Steele of 219 Squadron (killed 1942)[3] and Sgt Michael Henry John Kilburn.

He was initially buried along with the other seven members of his crew at Dyce Old Churchyard near Aberdeen.

However, his family in Farnham must have applied to the RAF to have his remains returned to his home town and in 1943 he was reinterred in the plot here.

[4] Buried nearby is Lt Ernest Lyford of the Home Guard[5] who was accidentally killed in 1943 aged 55 while training with bombs.
