Burial Grounds in East Challow
The Parish Council manages two burial grounds in East Challow; Vicarage Hill cemetery and Canal Way cemetery (known locally as the New Cemetery).
Reluctantly, due to lack of space, East Challow Parish Council now only accepts burial of residents. Consideration will be given to burial of those with a strong local connection on an individual basis. Please contact the Clerk.

Public Art is installed
The Public Art was installed on the 19th November 2025, with residents gathering to celebrate the installation on the 5th December.
The Public Art which takes the form of a village sign has been painted by a local artist with impressions of East Challow through the ages and carved in wood. It showcases the history and local character of East Challow, showing prominent historical buildings, the village green and water pump and the Wilts and Berks canal.
The village sign has been paid for with S106 funding administered by Vale of White Horse District Council from developer contributions.
St Nicholas School have been involved and are busy preparing a time capsule that will be buried in 2026 at the foot of the sign.
The Public Art will be a unique local landmark in East Challow for future generations.
