The hamlet of Cashel was originally known as Crosby's Corners and was settled by Scottish immigrants in the early 1800s. The land for the church and cemetery was donated by James Rose to James Fenwick and trustees of the Presbyterian Church in 1827. St Helen's church, formerly located here, was the earliest Presbyterian Church in Markham and it operated until 1827 until 1865. Only the cemetery remains to mark the site.
The earliest burial at the cemetery was in 1839, which was for 5 year old James Hunter. Burials declinded after the church closed, but there are a few burials from the early 1900s. The cemetery is now officially closed.
Please walk carefully among the monuments on the grounds. The cache is a bison tube. The cemetery is located near a private residence, and night caching is not recommended.
