Wentworth Cemetery & Walking Tour
Cadell Street, Wentworth across from Lock 10 and the Weir Wentworth NSW 2648
Graves dating back to the 1850’s.
Many of the district’s pioneers are buried at the Wentworth cemetery including several well know businessmen (William Gunn and John Egge).
The occupants have not always rested easily here, as the front fence and some of the graves were moved back to allow room for a road and the building of Lock 10.
During floods the cemetery was impossible to get to and funerals had to be boated in.
Discover some of Wentworth’s oldest residents on a self-guided tour.
A fascinating ‘Walking Tour’ leaflet is available from both the Wentworth Town Library and the Wentworth Visitor Information Centre for those who would like to explore the stories behind the Cemetery and some of it’s occupants.
