Dunwich Benevolent Asylum, Funeral Book, 1866-1918
The funeral book for Dunwich Benevolent Ayslum, dated between 19 April, 1866 to 16 February, 1918, registering cemetery numbers, admission registration numbers, dates of death, cause of death, and ages.
History:
The first inmates of the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum to pass away were buried in Dunwich Cemetery in 1866, with burials continuing until the closure of the asylum in 1946. In the 80 years of operation, more than 8,400 inmates were interred in the cemetery, many of which were buried in unmarked graves. In 1988 a memorial wall was erected to honor these inmates. The wall was constructed using bricks from the asylum's laundry and powerhouse.
