>p>Another of the cemeteries dating back to United Empire
Loyalists. This is the site of the old Church of St. Mary
Magdalene. In 1803, William Macaulay, received a crown grant of 400
acres of land in this area. Born in Kingston, ordained at Oxford,
he used his own funds to finance the construction of this church.
He also donated land for the District Courthouse and gaol which are
located nearby. Rev. Macaulay is buried in this churchyard. One
very interesting headstone is that of William Pierce, located at N
44 00.420 W 077 07.913. You'll never believe the date inscribed on
this stone! If you have time, be sure to visit the church and the
museum next door.
