THE main gates of Winch-ester's cemetery are currently shut but there is no cause for alarm.

Engineers are hard at work renovating the iron gates at the graveyard at Magdalen Hill throughout the week.

Access to the large cemetery has been maintained with the temporary opening of the second gate, further along Alresford Road.

Pictured are Simon Merritt and Mark Sly working on the gates.Echo picture by John Luthwaite. Order no: rad089b0
