Doorstep History Programme 53
A memorial stone depicting the former chapel was revealed as part of the new Garden of Memory at Warstone Lane Cemetery, on 31 August 2021. The scheme – funded in partnership between the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Birmingham City Council and Jewellery Quarter Development Trust – also saw restoration works carried out at Key Hill Cemetery.
With Key Hill established in 1836 and Warstone Lane in 1848, these are the city’s oldest garden cemeteries, and both are listed for their historical importance.
