Located in Middleton, Old Holy Trinity Anglican Church, a Nova Scotia Heritage Site, sits in a grove of oak trees and is surrounded by the cemetery.

Land for the church was acquired by the Parish of Wilmot in a grant by Governor John Parr. Construction of the church began in 1789 under the direction of Rev. John Wiswall, who served the Church of England's Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). Legend has it that Rev. Wiswall did much of the physical work during the construction of the church. Thanks to his work and determination, Rev. Wiswall was named the first Rector of the church. Although the steeple was not finished until 1797, the church was finished enough to allow for services in 1791. This church, like many of its 18th century contemporaries, is no longer used as an active house of worship. However, it is used for various special services and it is open for public viewing during summer months.

The first known survey of this cemetery was done by Dr. Allan E. Marble on May 17, 1970. Per his usual custom, he assigned it an identifying number, in this case 92, and referred to it as the "Anglican Cemetery". He noted the location as Middleton.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb and, at that time, the volunteers cited the name as "Old Holy Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery" and the location as Middleton.

It has been 50 plus years since Dr. Marble did his survey and, since it is still an active cemetery, there have been many burials since then. More recently a project was undertaken by the Old Holy Trinity Charitable Trust to survey the cemetery and map the locations of each burial. The list of interments and grave locations can be found on the Old Holy Trinity website - https://oldholytrinitychurch.ca/wp/the-gravesite/8/

DIRECTIONS: The Church and Graveyard are located at the west end of Middleton. The Civic address is 49 Main Street (also known as Hwy 1) and it is located on the opposite side of the street from the larger Pine Grove Cemetery.

NOTE: Many obituaries and death notices cite the location as "Lower Middleton" and for quite a long time that was the official name of the community. However, according to Nova Scotia's place names database, GeoNAMES, the name was rescinded following the Nova Scotia Civic Address Review and on advice from the Municipality of Annapolis, 25 May 2006. The boundaries of "Middleton" were altered at that time to include the area formerly known as "Lower Middleton".
