About this cemetery
Key Hill Cemetery in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter opened in 1836 and is the oldest non-churchyard cemetery in the city. It was founded by nonconformist businessmen and is a listed garden cemetery. It closed to new burials in 1980 and became overgrown, and it is now looked after by the Friends of Key Hill and Warstone Lane cemeteries.
