WEBBEKOM CHURCHYARD Belgium

WEBBEKOM CHURCHYARD is located 30 Km east of Leuven. From the Grote Markt in the centre of Diest take the Sint-Jan Berchmanstraat which leads directly away from the Stadhuis. Take the first right into the Leuvensestraat and travel 400 m to a main set of traffic lights. Turn left at these lights onto the N10 Commissaris Neyskenslaan for 500 m. Turn right onto the E Robeynslaan (N2) and follow this road for 1.3 kilometers. This will bring you almost into Webbekom. Turn left into Webbekomstraat and go 100 m further where you will find the cemetery surrounding the church on the right side of the road. The Commission plot is to the rear of the church.
