arrived in the earlier period. Of all Macquarie's cemeteries, Wilberforce has the most interments with the highest proportional representation of ex-convict settlers from the First to the Third Fleets. Windsor has more convict burials but they arrived later. Richmond cemetery is dominated by free arrivals. The original Pitt Town cemetery does not exist anymore. Castlereagh cemetery was largely unused. Liverpool cemetery has been destroyed. Of the burials at Wilberforce from 1811 to 1825, 36% were interments of convicts who arrived before 1800. The orientation of the graves is such that they face from north-east to south-west, so that the north-eastern boundary is the "front" of the cemetery. Though the cemetery was placed in the control of the Church of England, there are burials of people from other denominations as well, such as Roman Catholics and Methodists. The burial ground was officially appropriated as a Church of England Cemetery in 1833. From the earliest days, a road to the north and Kurrajong passed close to the eastern side of the cemetery. It was a rough track not officially gazetted but its existence was shown on the earliest plans of the town. On 22 August 1894, Surveyor C. R. Scrivener completed a survey of two additions to the cemetery for a General Cemetery, with 1 rood 20 perches adjoining the Church of England Cemetery and another of 1 acre across the roadway. On 4 July 1896, an area of 1 acre was dedicated as a General Cemetery on the opposite side of the unnamed road. It appears to never have been used for interments. The area measuring 1 rood 20 perches immediately adjacent to the older cemetery between the 1811 cemetery and the unnamed road was dedicated as a General Cemetery on 22 August 1906. It was later approved as an extension to the Church of England Cemetery. It was used for burials from 1911 onwards, mostly from the same families who were interred in the older part of the cemetery. There were five burials there in 1911. It became an integral part of the cemetery and is included as part of this listing. Monuments have been made by a variety of masons including a noted local mason, George Robertson of Windsor. The trustees handed over control of Wilberforce cemetery to Colo Shire Council on 27 February 1968. It was closed for new burials in November 1986, though pre-existing rights to burial
