Treyford cemetery is a cemetery in the village of Treyford, West Sussex. It is located on the northern edge of the village, on a site that was once occupied by a church dedicated to St Peter. The church was built in the 1840s and was known as “The Cathedral of The Downs” because of its size and location. However, the church was poorly constructed with local stone that deteriorated over time, and it was demolished with explosives in 1947 after it became unsafe. The cemetery is now managed by the Treyford Conservation Group, which aims to provide a natural habitat for plants, insects, birds and mammals. The cemetery has a variety of gravestones, some of which are broken or fallen, and some of which are overgrown with brambles, ivy and grasses. The cemetery is open to the public and can be accessed by a public footpath that runs through it.

The pond is now a nature reserve and a popular spot for walking, fishing, and birdwatching. It is part of the South Downs National Park and has a rich biodiversity of plants and animals.
