London Road Cemetery restoration
Coventry City Council has a development grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Big Lottery to help create plans for the £2million restoration and improvement of London Road Cemetery.
This restoration project focuses on the oldest section of the Cemetery (nearest the city centre, between Deasy Road and the railway line) which is of national importance with a Grade I listing by Historic England. The plans are part of a wider project that will create a 70 hectare Heritage Park in Coventry including the Charterhouse, Charterhouse Fields and River Sherbourne which will make a significant difference to the city’s heritage.
