Witton Cemetery is a serene haven located in Perry Barr, Birmingham. Its 40 hectares are well maintained, and planted with a varied assortment of trees, flowers and shrubs. It provides a valuable refuge for wildlife, and it also has a wealth of great historical connections.

The surrounding wall is a listed structure. Within the cemetery are two memorial gardens, and it is the final resting place for two Victoria Cross medal holders. Genealogists make extensive use of the cemetery and its records.

The Friends aim to preserve the Cemetery in a manner befitting its main function, while encouraging people to develop a wider appreciation of its history and its place within the community. They have recently engaged with the Prince's Trust to renovate a memorial garden dedicated to the civilian war dead. They have identified many other worthy and enjoyable projects, and they are always happy to involve local people, either as new Friends or as volunteers.
