o reach this cemetery take Colborne Street west from Brantford, a.k.a. Highway # 53. Travel through the village of Mt Vernon. Continue to the intersection with traffic lights. At the intersection turn right on to Bishopsgate Road and travel north for 1.8 kms, you will come to Henderson Road on your right, turn right and go a short distance where you will see the cemetery on your left, the north side of Henderson road.

This cemetery is inactive. It is a very old cemetery dating back to the 1800s when the burials took place. aka Saint Abner Bishopsgate Cemetery.

The cemetery is under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the County of Brant. The grass is kept cut. The stones have all been moved and placed in a row embedded in concrete in the central part of the cemetery.

I walked this cemetery in March of 2010, reading and recording the inscription from each monument or grave marker that I was able to read. Two stones had no inscription on them.
