Witton Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Birmingham, England
The cemetery spans 40 hectares on a west and south-facing slope, enclosed by tall red-brick walls with multiple entrances and a gothic Anglican chapel.
The cemetery opened in 1861 after consecration by the Bishop of Worcester to address the growing need for burial spaces in Birmingham.
The grounds include sections for Anglican, Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Nonconformist burials, reflecting Birmingham's religious diversity in the Victorian era.
The cemetery opens from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM between October and March, and from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM between April and September.
A granite lighthouse memorial stands among the graves, commemorating Ernest Beston with marble seagulls perched upon granite boulders.
