From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Witton Cemetery, opened in Witton in 1863 as Birmingham City Cemetery, is the largest cemetery in Birmingham, England, at grid reference SP082921. Covering an area of 103 acres, it once had three chapels, however, two of these were demolished in 1980. The cemetery would perform up to 20 burials a day, however, it now carries out just four burials a day. The cemetery office was opened in 1999.

The surrounding brick walls are two miles long, the longest in the Midlands^{[citation needed]}.
