In 2018 our tour covered the Presbyterian Cemetery.
In 2017 our tour covered the Catholic 2 and Church of England 2 cemeteries. Sandgate Cemetery opened the Chapel.
Our first tour in 2016 was the initiative of our former member Heather. It covered graves in the Catholic 1 and Church of England 1 cemeteries, the area covering some of the oldest graves in Sandgate.
