From the 1937 WPA cemetery survey report.


LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Baskerville cemetery:

1937 Sept. 14

Research made by Susie P. Barnes


Cemetery Location: 5 miles south of South Hill, Virginia on Route #630. Cemetery is in the corner between Route #630 and Route #1. Mecklenburg County, Virginia. It is also noted in another WPA survey of the home Lombardy Grove (built by William Baskervill in 1790), "that a broad brick walk with trees on either side, was, until recent years, all the way from this home to that of Charles Baskerville's son of William Baskerville, about one quarter of a mile away. The Lombardy Grove Cemetery was between the two homes." This cemetery was called the Old Baskerville Cemetery in the WPA survey of cemeteries.


Date: 1812 - date of oldest grave.


Owners: Fred Watkins, 1937 (Baskerville family reserve cemetery rights).


Description: This is the oldest cemetery in this locality. It is enclosed by a high thick brick wall, broke in some places, but most of the wall is still standing.

Baskervilles, Alexanders and Colemans are buried here. Some of the inscriptions on some of the stones and slabs are so worn that the inscription cannot be read. The tree boxwood of immense size and very pretty. The ground is covered with periwinkle.
