Samsonvale cemetery, headstones and landscape photographs, 1988

DESCRIPTION

Description

A landscape architecture student, Ron Apelt undertook the project of documenting the 96 graves of Samsonvale Cemetery in 1988, when a group of local residents contacted the Institute of Landscape Architects asking for help. His book recommended ways to preserve and enhance the cemetery’s surroundings, including detail on methods of restoring headstones etc.

The land was gazetted for a cemetery under control of Trustees on 8 April 1911. The first burial was 2 April 1912.
