About this cemetery
St Editha's is the Grade I listed parish and collegiate church of Tamworth, which has been a place of worship for over 1000 years. As a collegiate church it had its own dean and chapter until the college was dissolved in 1548. The churchyard closed in 1856, with some exceptions, after which burials in Tamworth largely took place elsewhere.
