History

Whittingham Cemetery, Singleton, New South Wales, Australia dates from the days of early white settlement in this district. A number of inscriptions extant are from the 1830s, and include some persons who arrived as convicts and another who was a veteran of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The monuments are wonderful examples of the work and artistry of stonemasons from the early 19th century to the present day. Many inscriptions more than 150 years old are beautifully preserved and as easy to read today as when they were carved. The images were contributed by Joe Sharman who began photographing the cemetery in February 2013. In compiling the list of inscriptions for this cemetery, reference was made to the NSW indices of births, deaths and marriages and to the Australian War Memorial online military rolls for additional information.

Whittingham Cemetery is controlled and maintained by the Anglican Church. For further information, contact the Trustees, 40 High Street Singleton NSW 2330.
