Monks Kirby Catholic Cemetery

This cemetery occupies land owned by the Earls of Denbigh, forming part of the estate of Newnham Paddox.  It was provided as a result of the conversion to Roman Catholicism of the eighth Earl of Denbigh, Rudolph William Basil Feilding, in the 19th century.  The location at the edge of the village gives a peaceful setting, with the chapel hidden amongst the trees. The eighth Earl was a popular man, being noted for his benevolence to the inhabitants of the local area.
