Watermead Cemetery

Watermead Cemetery
As previously announced, the Historical & Museum Society, at the request of its members, arranged for the manufacture of headstones for the unmarked graves in the Watermead Cemetery. These headstones have now been erected in the cemetery.

Many thanks go to Phyl Palframan, who is planting some trees and hedging plants at the cemetery, and to Anthony Palframan for his efforts in clearing the resurgent growth. Phyl plans to beautify the cemetery with indigenous plants, and any assistance with plants and/or their planting will be much appreciated.

Afterwards, we will go on to Watermead Farm, where Anthony Palframan has very kindly agreed that we may look around the old farmhouse. We will finish up with a picnic lunch in the gardens.


Sunday 27 February 2011, at 11h30, there will be a short ceremony to "unveil" the new headstones. We envisage that Rev. Paul Mosdell, of St Michael’s, and Rev. Edward Pietersen, of the Underberg Congregational Church, will officiate, and Andy Corfe, whose father was the first Congregational Minister here, will do the unveiling and also give a short talk on the history of the cemetery.
