The first known survey of this cemetery was done by noted genealogist Dr. Allan E. Marble on September 14, 1966. In his notes, he referred to this cemetery as "Bridgetown Anglican Church Cemetery" and assigned it the identifying number 13. He recorded the location as Bridgetown.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb. At that time, the volunteers named it "Anglican Church Cemetery" but the Rootsweb cemetery index listed the name as "Anglican Church". They recorded the location as Bridgetown.

Dr. Marble transcribed 121 headstones containing 190 inscriptions, noting that the headstones were in good condition. The oldest identifiable stone is from 1843. This is an active cemetery, so additional burials have occurred since his survey was done in 1966.

DIRECTIONS: This cemetery is located at the end of Victoria Street, east of Civic #9. The entrance is marked by brick pillars with a wrought iron gate and a sign.
