Description	:	For 127 years there was a church on the site of this cemetery which was torn down in 2004. In October, 1876, the Methodists of West Dalhousie purchased land from Joseph Wheelock as a site for a church. By the following year, a chapel measuring 20 by 28 feet had been erected and dedicated.

In October, 1876, the Methodists of West Dalhousie purchased land from Joseph Wheelock as a site for a church. By the following year, a chapel measuring 20 by 28 feet had been erected and dedicated. It became known as the "Methodist Little White Church". In 1925, when Methodists and Presbyterians united to form the United Church of Canada, the little chapel became a preaching point on the Bridgetown circuit. Still primarily known as the "Little White Church", it was also at times referred to as the "Old United Church". Over the next decade attendance declined and the last service was held in 1935, after which the community cared for the building and surrounding cemetery. During this period the cemetery became known as "Hill Cemetery". By 1985 the building and cemetery had been taken over by the Anglican diocese of Nova Scotia. For the next fourteen years it was known as "St. Barnabas Anglican Church" and the cemetery as "St. Barnabas Cemetery". On May 21, 1967 the first known survey of this cemetery was completed by Dr. Allan E. Marble. Per his usual method, he did not name the cemetery but assigned it an identifying number, in this case 38, and a location, West Dalhousie. At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's original survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb and, at that time, the volunteers gave the cemetery the name "Anglican Church Cemetery" and location, West Dalhousie. In his 1967 survey, Dr. Marble transcribed 20 headstones containing 45 inscriptions. However, two of the inscriptions appeared twice, once on a headstone with family members and once on a standalone headstone. So, he actually only recorded 43 burials. In 2021, professional photographer and dedicated cemetery investigator, Steve Skafte photographed all headstones in the cemetery and those photos have been added to the memorials at Find a Grave. Thanks also to another longtime researcher of Annapolis County cemeteries, Denise J Rice, for help with the research into this church and cemetery, including the photo of the church prior to it being torn down in 2004. DIRECTIONS: The cemetery is located on the south side of West Dalhousie Road, directly across from Civic #4655.
