Middleham and St. Peter’s Cemetery

History

The parish cemetery includes graves from the 1700’s forward to today.  It is an active cemetery.  It includes rude stones that are attributed to the enslaved.

The cemetery includes a bronze tribute to the enslaved:

A memorial to the slaves who were owned by members of Middleham Chapel. Some of these slaves are believed to be buried in this cemetery. For the sanctioning of slavery, we are truly sorry and humbly repent. We pray that these slaves have found joy in the life everlasting that was largely denied them in their earthly lives. The Members of Middleham and St. Peter’s Parish November 2, 2014
