Description : Woodward Hill Cemetery (46677) was set up to relieve overcrowding in colonial churchyard cemeteries within Lancaster City. It was officially founded in 1849 when the vestry of Trinity Church purchased the 12 ac nucleus of the cemetery from Emanuel C. Reigart, Esq (35421976). This prominent citizen had already moved his ancestors from the Prince Street Moravian Cemetery (2737375) to Woodward Hill around 1844. In 1852, title to the land was transferred to a corporation, making it a public, non-sectarian cemetery. The cemetery was later expanded to 25 ac.
