West Parish Garden Cemetery

West Parish Garden Cemetery A non-denominational garden cemetery open to all and listed on the National Register of Historic Pla Directly behind the chapel is a reflection pond.

One of New England’s rare garden cemeteries listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A non-denominational cemetery open to all, the West Parish Garden Cemetery offers over 50 acres of gardens, lawns, and woodland trails, enclosed by a magnificent stone wall and featuring cobblestone walkways, a stone bridge, and reflecting ponds. The triumphal arch, one of the finest examples of stonewo

rk in the Commonwealth, serves as the gateway to this historic, pastoral place. The cobblestone path leads to the stone cottage which once served as a meeting place for the bereaved. Down the road one will find The Chapel at West Parish, an English-style stone chapel built in 1909 with Tiffany stained glass windows. The original cemetery was established in 1692 and enlarged in 1908 with a generous gift from William Wood, Andover textile industrialist.
