The new Church of England Cemetery was consecrated on the 21St November 1890 by Bishop Parry. It is likely
though that burials were being performed before that date as the "old" cemetery had been condemned in 1886 when
" dreadful effluvium" was emanating from the ground.
York Cemetery has considerable historic value as the burial place of many pioneering European settlers in York.
The first inland town established in the Swan River Colony, and is the fourth oldest colonial cemetery in continuous use in
Western Australia. It has aesthetic value for the range of designs, skills and materials evidenced in the collection of
monuments, palisades, railings and funerary elements in the picturesque setting on the side of MT Brown.
