Lodge Hill Cemetery is to the south west of Birmingham city centre, serves the suberbs of Edgbaston, Harborne, Selly Oak, Northfield, Rednal and Bournville. It was opened in January 1895. The original site has now been extended to over 61 acres. Lodge Hill has burials of all denominations and has a section devoted to Quakers, where some of the Cadbury family are buried. The cemetery also has a Soldiers, section were some 500 soldiers who died in local hospitals during World War 1 are buried. Nearby is a small plot, surrounded by a golden privet hedge, where 14 World War1 German prisoners of War are buried. On each of these graves a flat memorial stone, shaped like an iron cross was laid. In 1934 a chapel and crematoriam were built at a cost of £9,000.
