St. Peter’s Anglican Church Cemetery is also, like the
church across the street, on donated land from Mary Storey and her brother
Leslie Patterson, original settlers to the area. Many of the early pioneers of this area and
their descendants are buried there, including Colonel Thomas Talbot, with the
first marked burial being in 1825. Not only are the large stones beautiful and decoratively
carved, it is simply a peaceful place.
There is also a very old, very large Himalayan Spruce growing just off
from the perimeter of the cemetery. It
is a wonder to see and a marvel, as this species of trees is not meant to grow
in this area and normally wouldn’t have survived as this one has. Take care and have a great week!
