Burial Register together with list of headstones below
Thanks to Joy Dalgleish of Busselton WA for donating information regarding this cemetery
Burials were stopped in 1893 by the Commonwealth Government, however permission was eventually granted for the
reopening of the churchyard for burials of Jeffries descendants only.
Most of the Jeffries family are buried at the nearby Burton Pioneer Cemetery & in Jeffries Row at the North Road Cemetery.
The old church is used quite often for weddings (only with permission from the Jeffries Family) & is particulaly popular with the RAAF Personel.
Most of the Jeffries & Ridley Families have been married there.
