John Martyn was the first to be buried in the grounds 11 September 1888 and later Cornelius Day (FG#106125976) donated another acre as a burial ground. William Australia Graham surveyed the cemetery and set out the grounds with trees and shrubs. The huge rhododendron remains today. The graves of nearly all the local pioneers are in this churchyard.
Church records show that while the foundation stone was laid on the present site on the corner of Airport Rd and Tamahere Drive in 1882 regular Church of England services were first conducted in Tamahere more than 15 years earlier.
The first St. Stephen's Church and adjoining cemetery were consecrated in 1891 and that church served the local community until it was destroyed by fire in June 1970.
