From Sherbrooke take either Route 143 North or Autoroute 55 to Bromptonville. If using Route 55 Nord, take exit 60 to Bromptonville. At the stop sign turn left and cross over the highway. At the stop sign turn right on River Road (Chemin de la Rivière). Continue on this road for about 5km. You will pass the Noyes-Knapp Cemetery. The cemetery is on your right about 1km North of the above cemetery.

If using route 143 North, when you get to Bromptonville, turn left at the light (Laval Street) and continue to the end. At the stop, turn right on River Road and the cemetery is 5 miles on your right.

This pretty rural cemetery was named after the church that once stood here. The church was built in 1872 and lasted until 1975.

The earliest headstone dates from 1861. It is fenced and gated and well maintained by a group of devoted descendants of those buried here. If you wish to make donations for the upkeep of the cemetery, please contact Mrs. Mildred Holliday, 70 Jean XXIII Street, Windsor, Quebec, J1S 2A8.

Susan Nutbrown and I walked and read this cemetery in Aug of 2006 and made a complete recording of all legible tombstones.
