There are only 10 stones, some of which are now barely legible. Six graves have no markers, and for two of these the interred are unknown. Because the existing stones are set back in the trees, it's not easy as one drives by to recognize that it is indeed a cemetery. The grounds are well maintained, however; the sign has recently been refurbished and the colourful all-weather flowers below the name now help to make the cemetery more noticeable.
Established in 1844, the land was originally purchased from John and Clarissa Lawrence by the Wesleyan Methodist Church as the site of a chapel and burial ground. Although the chapel was never built, the current stones indicate that interments took place beginning in 1850. The last burial appears to have been in 1909, so one can assume that Lawrence Old Methodist is no longer an active cemetery.
