Earlham Road Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in Norwich, England

The cemetery spans 85 acres across two sections divided by Farrow Road, featuring winding paths in the east and a grid layout in the west.

Established in 1856 following a cholera epidemic, the cemetery replaced overcrowded churchyards and included separate areas for different religious denominations.

The cemetery contains the Spirit of the Army statue from 1878, commemorating soldiers from Britannia Barracks, and holds graves of numerous military personnel.

The cemetery grounds include a modern crematorium built in 1964, Gothic lodges from 1856, and multiple entrances accessible via local bus services.

The eastern section functions as a County Wildlife Site with 150 flower species, 80 tree varieties, and regular visits from muntjac deer and foxes.
