The Cemetery in Framlingham

With its fine cast iron gates and railings installed in 1868, Framlingham’s Victorian cemetery is a place of calm, remembrance and reflection close to the town centre. The Irish yews and copper beeches are just some of the trees planted by Framlingham forefathers which, together with the grass and wildflower meadows, make the cemetery such an extra special place today. Around 100 different species of wildflowers and grasses have been identified in the woodland and award-winning Upper Cemetery wildflower meadow – a designated ‘County Grassland Wildlife Site’. As well as butterflies and insects, bats and songbirds, look and listen out for owls, woodpeckers and sparrowhawks.

The cemetery has a number of war graves. Notable memorials also include those of the Tetley-Jones family. A large cross remembers Joseph Tetley who together with his brother founded the Tetley Tea Co in 1837. A Tetley daughter married into the Jones family of Framlingham.
