St. George’s Graveyard<\/h1>"},"content":{"rendered":"\n\n\n<\/br>\n<\/p>\n

Our graveyard began with the founding of Fredericksburg in 1728 when lots were designated for a graveyard. The site would also include St. George’s Church and to the north land for a market and government. <\/p>\n

St. George’s is the oldest graveyard in the town with 116 numbered graves, most of them are from the first half of the 19th century. The Vestry closed the graveyard in the early 1930’s since it was considered full but in 2008, the church began to bury cremains on the north side opposite Faulkner Hall when a plans for a memorial garden fell through.<\/p>\n
