Statement of Significance

The cemetery is an important historical record of people in the Calingiri area since 1932.

History

In 1932, the Anglican cemetery was consecrated by Bishop Riley. At that time the Secretary of the Calingiri Cemetery Board was John Dobson. A grave of an Aboriginal person is located in the northwest corner of the cemetery, separate from the main cemetery. It is believed to be the grave of a mother and child of the Moody family. The cemetery is now open to all denominations.
