Celebrating Birmingham’s Burial Grounds
Funder; Historic England
Project duration; October 2019 to November 2022
This project focuses on the social history to be discovered and shared by exploring 5 burial grounds in Birmingham which are:
- Key Hill Cemetery
- Warstone Lane Cemetery
- Handsworth Cemetery
- Brandwood Cemetery
- St Barnabas Closed Churchyard
Using a bespoke digital system we will map the 5 sites and run a series of events encouraging volunteers to help to survey the monument inscriptions, the social history to be uncovered within the Birmingham Archive and the biodiversity.
