The
new tenant’s neighbours will include John Cadbury, the founder of the
famous chocolate company, who was buried in the cemetery in 1889.
But there’s plenty of life around too, with Villa Park – home of Championship side Aston Villa FC – just five minutes away.
Witton
Cemetery is Birmingham’s largest cemetery, covering an area of 103
acres and was consecrated in 1863 by the Bishop of Worcester.
Before being declared full to capacity in 2013, the site would perform up to 20 burials a day.
