Burial Ground Restoration Initiative

A committee of Parishioners and community members restored this sacred and historical site (see the article).

In addition to mowing, stone cleaning, tours and stone stabilization, the committee received a grant from the Newbury Cultural Council and has almost completed the repair of broken fencing with this grant money.

The Essex Heritage Foundation gave a grant which allowed the church to remove an ailing tree from the cemetery (photos of the process shown below).

Assistance and donations to support the church’s efforts are always welcome.
