St. Peter's Anglican & Erindale Cosmopolitan Cemeteries

Notes:
St. Peter's Anglican Church Cemetery, Erindale (formerly Springfield-on-the-Credit)

This burial ground runs along the Credit River on a high hill behind the St. Peter's Anglican Church. The east side, closest to the church, was for the Church of England. The west side, farthest from the church, is the Erindale Cosmopolitan (all-denominations)cemetery. The two graveyards have filled in to meet, and now it is difficult to distinguish the boundary.
