Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Friends of Lawnswood Cemetery! We are a small community organisation formed in 2011. Our aim is to enhance, protect and promote the cemetery for future generations. Opened in 1875, the original 10-acre Victorian site is now designated as a ”Park or Garden of Special Historic Interest” with Historic England, and contains Grade 2 listed buildings and monuments. It has expanded over the years to its current 53 acres, and has been owned and managed by Leeds City Council…
Christmas Greetings
We wish all our volunteers, friends and supporters a very Happy Christmas and all good wishes for 2025. Thank you to everyone who has supported the Friends over the year and we look forward to a busy and successful year ahead !
Action Day 7th December
We are sorry to announce that the Action Day on Saturday 7th December has been cancelled. The weather forecast is for high winds and heavy rain, and we would not be safe to work there with the number of trees in the cemetery.
Remembrance Sunday 10th November 2024
We met at the War Memorial to lay a wreath in remembrance of all those who died in war and are either laid to rest in Lawnswood, or remembered in the cemetery in any way. It was lovely to see people who have joined us on previous years back again…
