Find a Grave St Andrew's Graveyard, Brighton

St Andrew's Graveyard, Brighton is the graveyard of St Andrew's Anglican Church, Brighton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The St Andrew's Graveyard is of historical significance as an extremely early, pre-Gold Rush graveyard and as a rare surviving example of such a graveyard in Victoria. [1]

Contents

It is one of four remaining churchyards in Victoria. [1]

The St Andrew's Graveyard is notable for the tombstones of early Victorian pioneers and prominent citizens, and their families, contained within it. These include Jonathan B. Were, leading merchant and agent and founder of J. B. Were and Son (d. 1885); Henry B. Foot, surveyor and planner of the Brighton township (d. 1857); William A. Brodribb, pastoralist and politician (d. 1886) and Thomas Higinbotham, chief engineer of the Victorian Railways (d. 1880). The retention of a wooden memorial marker (date unknown) is also of significance.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cemeteries and crematoria in Brighton and Hove</span> Review of the topic

The English coastal city of Brighton and Hove, made up of the formerly separate Boroughs of Brighton and Hove in East Sussex, has a wide range of cemeteries throughout its urban area. Many were established in the mid-19th century, a time in which the Victorian "cult of death" encouraged extravagant, expensive memorials set in carefully cultivated landscapes which were even recommended as tourist attractions. Some of the largest, such as the Extra Mural Cemetery and the Brighton and Preston Cemetery, were set in particularly impressive natural landscapes. Brighton and Hove City Council, the local authority responsible for public services in the city, manages seven cemeteries, one of which also has the city's main crematorium. An eighth cemetery and a second crematorium are owned by a private company. Many cemeteries are full and no longer accept new burials. The council maintains administrative offices and a mortuary at the Woodvale Cemetery, and employs a coroner and support staff.
