National Federation of Cemetery Friends

KING'S LYNN

 

Friends of Hardwick Road Cemetery  The group was launched in May 2006. Currently there are about 40 members. The cemetery was opened in 1846 as a non denominational extension to one of Kings Lynn's churches and then came under the control of Kings Lynn Burial Board in 1855. The cemetery covers some 20 acres and retains much of its arboretum layout but sadly the chapels were demolished in the 1970's. The group has published the results of a flora and wildlife survey undertaken in 2004 by members of the local RSPB branch.

The RSPB website gives detail of the survey
