Willow Grove Burying Ground
The Willow Grove Burying Ground was originally located about 6 km northeast of here, on the south side of Rexdale Boulevard, west of Kipling Avenue, in the community of Highfield. The site was acquired by the Rev. William Millard from John Metteridge in the mid-1840s. In 1886, the property was conveyed to Richard P. Dixon, Robert Moody, and Thomas Gardhouse, trustees of Willow Grove Chapel, and dedicated "for a chapel and burying ground for the use of the congregation of Christians worshipping in the said chapel (not being regular Baptists), practising baptism by immersion and the liberty of communion to all who profess faith in Christ, whether immersed or not".
In 1970, 110 bodies were removed and re-interred in the southern end of Richview Cemetery. The former Willow Grove cemetery property was then sold.
