The Friends of the General Cemetery (FOGC) was formed in
1989 by a handful of residents on Cemetery Road, Sheffield.
Since then this voluntary organisation has grown in size (with
more than 200 members) and the Friends has now become the Sheffield General Cemetery Trust
(SGCT). The Trust carries out many organised
events within the cemetery:
-
Education tours and workshops
-
Conservation work to maintain and enhance the monuments,
the landscape and the paths
-
Historical research of the cemetery and its occupants.
The SGCT's aim is to encourage everyone to enjoy this historical
site by walking its paths, learning its history or simply
as a quiet place to sit and contemplate.
