Historic cemeteries
Penzance & Falmouth
Friends of Penzance Jewish Cemetery and Friends of Ponsharden Cemeteries, in Falmouth, have been formally inaugurated to promote restoration work at the two sites. Members of these organisations are made up of citizen, civic, religious and local government representatives. The purpose of these two groups is for fundraising, maintenance, management and education.
The organisations established will act as an impetus to accelerate the various stages for restoration development and are being encouraged by members of the town council and English Heritage.
