Consecrated in 1856, King’s Lynn’s victorian cemetery was also designed as the town's arboretum, and provides a distinctive landscape to one of the key entrances to the town.

Although little used for burials today, it remains a site well cared for by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, who administer and maintain the cemetery. The Friends — established in 2006 — exists to further and promote both the historic and the natural value of the site.
