Cemeteries
The Jewellery Quarter contains two historic cemeteries including Warstone Lane and Key Hill. In 2007, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Groundwork Birmingham and Birmingham City Council funded a project to design and install a number of Interpretation Boards in the cemeteries. The Interpretation Boards provide an insight into the history of the Quarter, the cemeteries and the famous people buried there as well as illustrations and information about the flora and fauna of the cemeteries.
Guided Tours of St. Paul’s Church
Guided tours of this beautiful Georgian church can be booked through the church office (0121 236 7858). Tours are for groups of up to 30 people and have the services of a church guide who will give an insight into the history of the church and the main features of the building. Light refreshments (tea/coffee and homemade cake) can be booked at a cost of £2.50 a head, or a buffet lunch can be booked at a cost of £5 a head.
Walking the Pavement Trails
Many of the secrets of the Quarter can be unlocked by walking the area’s famous pavement trails in Newhall Hill and Frederick Street (the Charm Bracelet Trail) and Newhall Street and Graham Street (the Findings Trail). Find out what famous classic was written in the Quarter and why there is a close connection with the Titanic! For more information, please visit the Historic Trails page.
