Britain's What's On Event Guide
Hardwick Cemetery
Heritage Open Day: Every gravestone tells a story. Hop on the bus to meander in peace and tranquillity.
When the King’s Lynn churchyards were full, the Corporation laid out this fine Victorian cemetery, which opened in 1856. It was one of the first municipal burial grounds in the country and has remained true to its original plan and planting. Some of the most noteworthy locals are buried here – Frederick Savage, for example. Note the monument in the shape of a boat, which is where five Scottish fishermen are buried, having drowned from 'The Beautiful Star'. A haven for wildlife.
Short guided walks and the opportunity to search for ancestors’ graves 1000-1500.
