1830 - Perth Cemetery


1830

The East Perth Cemetaries were set aside as the main burial ground for the capital of the Swan River Colony soon after its foundation in 1829, and were not only associated with the early pioneering period, but for virtually the entire colonial period which lasted until to the end of the nineteenth century.

They are quite correctly called cemeteries as even though the site appears as one today, it originally incorporated seven individual denominational cemeteries which came into existence progressively through the latter half of nineteenth century until the time when the site was closed in 1899. Each cemetery was fenced off and in most cases was separated from the others by a public roadway.

The cemetery complex also houses St. Bartholomew's Church which served as a burial chapel and a parish church for nearby residents.

I'm really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems?
A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my website not operating
correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any ideas
to help fix this problem?
