Historic and heritage value
St Olave’s Anglican Church was built in 1877 in the centre of the old settlement and was later relocated, by a team of bullocks, to its present location in 1901. The ground around the church was immediately used as a burial ground, with the first known burial being Irene Cole (aged 9 months) on 10 January 1902. In 1960 a decision was made by the Devonport Parish to restore the building. It remains in a good condition with some headstones still remaining in the surrounding burial ground.
This is the smallest of the cemeteries located in the city’s outer precinct.
