Camperdown Cemetery

full record »

Private cemetery in Newtown that was consecrated in January 1849 and remained the main burial ground for the Church of England until the opening of Rookwood in 1868. St Stephen's Anglican church was built in the middle of it in the early 1870s. All but 4 acres of the cemetery were resumed in 1948 to become the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park.

St Stephen's Anglican church Newtown

full record »

Gothic revival style church designed by Edmund Blacket which is still surrounded by its churchyard and trees, despite its inner-city location. It was built in 1871 in the existing Camperdown Cemetery. It was the second St Stephen's church building in Newtown. The first, on Longdown Street, also designed by Blacket, was consecrated in 1845 but quickly became too small. After the new church opened the older building was used as day and Sunday school, and then converted for use as a parish hall until it was destroyed by fire in 1938.

Bochsa, Nicholas

Harpist and composer who died in Sydney on concert tour in 1856.
