<h3>IN-PERSON EVENT</h3><h2>The Rosary cemetery in Norwich is accepted as England’s first non-denominational cemetery. It was opened in 1821 by Thomas Drummond, a retired Unitarian minister, to provide a place of burial for people of all faiths or none. It became the place of interment for many of the city’s prominent non-conformist families and is still used for burials today. The Rosary also provides a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of urban life and provides a home for a wide variety of plants and animals.</h2><h3>T﻿his is a hybrid event, you can book a place for the online version of this event <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/654878708847" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a></h3><h3>Find our Summer 2023 programme of events <a href="https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/events-summer-2023/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a></h3><h3><strong>The maximum capacity of events is limited, to ensure a space please book using the links below.
