Cemetery

The St John's Cemetery dates back to the time the church was first built, and contains a number of notable graves, including First Fleet convict John Limeborner and several members of the Wilkinson and Underwood families who were significant in the early European settlement of the Ashfield district.

Cemetery records have become sketchy over the years (at least one burial at St John's was later exhumed and reburied elsewhere, without any record being made at the time!), but some records are available as follows:

• Cemetery Maps (JPG, 1.8 MB) - two maps in a single file.  Alt St is along the top, Bland St along the bottom.  The main pathway through the grounds is between sections J and K.  There seems to be some discrepancy in the plot numbering between the two maps.
• Burial Register (PDF, 11.2 MB) - a copy of the original burial register index book
• Cemetery Database (HTML) - a compilation of the burial register, cross-matched where possible with another survey of the cemetery from 1958.
