History of Rectory Lane Cemetery:
WWII Graves

War in Europe has once again taken its toll, and by 1946 more war graves have appeared in the Cemetery, commemorating the sacrifice of many young men from Berkhamsted. Most of the Commonwealth War Graves headstones can be distinguished by their simple, white stone design. Many of the inscriptions speak of local families’ sorrow at the loss of their sons.
