| The award winning landscaping scheme to the Cemetery approach way was completed in June 2005 and now the whole community can enjoy the area as they take in the views across the Soar Valley - undoubtedly the best in Hathern. This scheme has brought to life a long neglected area in what is a sensitive and cherished part of the village. A variety of shrubs and flowering wild cherry and crab apple trees are included in the planting scheme together with hawthorn hedging. On the 17 th June 2005 the completion of the project was marked by a dedication ceremony led by Celia Harris in memory of Nell Wood and Robert Ashby whose memorial seats grace the site. |

| The Vice Chair of Leicestershire County Council was also on hand to present a Shire Community Environmental Improvement award to the Parish Council for this scheme. In 2008 a working party was set up for the refurbishment of the cemetery itself. Work was completed by Autumn 2009 and some of the photographs below show the before and after results. |
