The 7 acre Sutton Coldfield Cemetery was opened in 1881 as an additional burial ground for Holy Trinity Church. As the land was buried upon a further 10 acres of burial land was provided in 1934 when an area next to the original cemetery was opened.  Responsibility for the cemetery was later transferred to Sutton Coldfield Borough Council and then to Birmingham City Council in 1974 on Local Government reorganisation.  The cemetery has narrow tree lined avenues in the old part and is not suitable for vehicles.  This cemetery has no land for new graves and administration is carried out from Sutton New Hall Cemetery.

NEW HALL (1200AD built as a hunting lodge by Earl of Warwick) ) is said to have been described as a manor in 1435 by the homage in a court baron at Sutton after Sir Richard Stanhope's death, when, it was stated, he held it of the Earl of Warwick by service of 10s. 10d. a year. (fn. 244) He left a son and heir James, but in 1442 Katherine, widow of William Basset the younger of Fledborough (and sister of Richard Stanhope), (fn. 245) demised New Hall for 21 years to William Deping of Sutton and Richard Lee of Maney.

Jane Pudsey widow of the last of the Pudseys of Langley Hall with an income of £800 a year, remarried William Willson, a less than weathy builder and architect and student of Sir Christopher Wren. In 1680 he designed and built in stone, Moat Hall at the top of Sutton High Street, with lodge, moat and stone bridge. The moat survived until 1860; the lodge and house still stand. When he died in 1710 Willson was buried, not with his wife within Holy Trinity parish church but due to objections from her family, outside just adjacent to the external wall of the church. When the church was later extended in 1874 he belatedly entered the church. Willson’s Pudsey stepdaughters married Ffolliat and Jesson and Willson designed Four Oaks Hall for the former and her husband. Willson died in 1710, and his son died without issue in 1728 when Moat Hall passed to the Jessons. Joseph Duncumb Warden of Sutton 1760/61 bought Moat House from William Jesson. His daughter Eliza married Shirley Farmer Steele Perkins a barrister in 1793 but died in 1816. Perkins, who was Warden of the town in 1804, was living at Moat Hall at the time of the 1841 census. He died in 1852. In 1891 and 1898 the house was the home of Richard Hurst Sadler a local solicitor. In June1948 when the freehold was offered for sale, the nine bedroom mansion boasted gardens and pasture of over 8 acres running down to the railway line.

The origins of Vesey House, now 3 High Street, are obscure but it is reputed to be one of Bishop Vesey's 16th century properties. It was at one time known as Brick House and was occupied in about 1577 by Raphael Harman, a Vesey nephew. It is said that during the Civil War it was the home of Thomas Willoughby the Cromwellian Magistrate and Administrator of the town. In 1677 it was owned by John Addyes by whom it was bequeathed to the Hackett family. In 1828 Ann Bracken was their tenant. The frontage was much altered when the road was turnpiked in 1807 ; the roadway was lowered in 1827 to reduce the steep slope up the hill and steps had to be built up to the entrance. In 1850 the property was divided to become two dwellings, one of which was occupied in 1857 by Agnes Bracken a local artist, author and historian. Further alterations were made , the steps were removed and the unusual bay windows reduced and remodelled when the 20th century shop fronts were installed.

The first Royal Hotel in Sutton Coldfield was the building adjacent to the present Town Hall which now houses local authority offices. This was once a rather grand building erected in 1865 as a purpose built hotel to serve the large numbers of visitors expected to be attracted to the town by the new 1862 railway. It was designed by Edwin Holmes in the Gothic Revival style and built by T Elvins of Birmingham. If the frontage seems very plain it is probably because the present frontage was originally the rear elevation, the original frontage facing down the hill to the railway station. The hotel was soon in financial difficulties and was closed. Although refinanced and reopened in 1869 it never really achieved the status that its prominent position suggested. On the night of the 1881 census the hotel housed nine guests and twelve staff. In 1895 Lt Colonel Wilkinson bought the empty hotel building with over five acres of land and presented it to a charitable organisation for use as a sanatorium for white collar workers and teachers. The venture was not successful and in 1902 the Charities Commission sold the property to the Sutton Corporation for use as a Town Hall and Council offices.
