About this cemetery
Witham's Cemetery in Gibraltar takes its name from Captain Witham, a British officer of the 18th century involved in the sieges of Gibraltar. It is an old military cemetery, also called Sandpits Cemetery, holding the graves of over 300 people who died between 1765 and 1850. The Gibraltar Heritage Trust has been restoring the long-neglected site. More about the cemetery can be found through gibraltarheritagetrust.org.gi.
