The Nuns Graveyard at Holmhurst St Mary.
Located in woodland at Holmhurst St Mary there are some graves of nuns marked with a simple cross recording a first name year of death and age. Near the site of the graves are sandstone walls. As a part of the application to develop the site HBC planners made this statement:
"The applicant has confirmed that the nun's graveyard will remain untouched but the old gardens will be remodelled in order to deliver the development. The gardens have no formal heritage designation so I do not consider that they benefit from any protection.

The graves are arranged in one line with dates ranging from 1942 to 1991
