Cemeteries
[edit]Liverpool Apex Park
[edit]The first, Old Burying Ground, cemetery was located west of the church, on the east bank of Brickmakers Creek. It was short lived due to damp. Being a low level block it was abandoned soon after as too damp. It was cleared in the 1940s and renamed Apex Park.[16]
Liverpool Pioneer Memorial Park
[edit]A larger general cemetery area was made north of the glebe. Later re-named the Pioneer Memorial Park with headstones moved.
Current Cemetery
[edit]The current general cemetery was made west of the town area.
Precinct
[edit]A church area, a glebe, was made just north of the church.
Early records of births, deaths and marriages go back as far as 1811, well before the construction of the current building.[17]
The new parsonage was built in 1840-ish.[18]
