Heritage Open Day: The restored cemetery chapels will be open and the burial register database (1855-1918) will be available if visitors wish to check on ancestors buried in the cemetery. Organised by Halesworth u3a Family History group. Halesworth Cemetery was opened in 1855 following the closure of the main town graveyard at St Mary’s church. Since its opening, the cemetery has become the last resting place of over 3000 Halesworth citizens and continues to provide an essential service for the town and district. The tour will explain the history of the cemetery, explain why it is located where it is and point out the location of some of the notable burials. There will also be an opportunity to see inside one of the restored cemetery chapels...
