Norwood, or more accurately, Kensington, has two cemeteries. The one in Maesbury Street, attached to a small Congregational Chapel, which was generally known as Norwood, but actually in the village of Kensington, and the small cemetery attached to Clayton (Congregational) Church which is on the corner of The Parade and Portrush Road, Beulah Park. The Clayton Church congregation was previously in Maesbury Street. Unfortunately a service group razed the Maesbury Street cemeteries in the late 1950s early 60s. When I transcribed early Adelaide Cemeteries in the late 60s there was only one gravestone (broken) left. However there was a complete listing of burials in the cemetery, which has subsequently been inscribed on brass plates and mounted in what is now known as the Pioneer Park. Freda is duplicating work already done. Somewhere I have a copy of the list of burials 'buried' in one of my filing cabinets and there would be a copy at the SAGHS.

There is another cemetery only a few hundred metres from Maesbury Street, that of St Matthew's Anglican Church Yard at Marryatville.
