No old picture available | The old morgue in Green Dragon Lane today |
There is no churchyard or cemetery in Flackwell Heath. Because the village was made up from four distinct hamlets,
Northern Woods (North End Woods), Sedgmoor, The Common and Heath End the different areas were the responsibility of three separate parishes.
The churchyard of the 'mother church' in each of the different parishes would be the place of burial or, later, the relevant cemetery
(Wooburn Green, Little Marlow, Loudwater or High Wycombe). Thus, if you were unlucky enough to die here, you would be laid out in the
old morgue until suitable transport could be found to take you to the correct parish for burial.
