An Early History of Windsor – The Old Parish Burying Ground
$15.00 Add to cartThe following historical notes written in 1887 to secure an act to vest the title of the “Old parish Churchyard and Burying Ground” in Windsor, in the town, and to give the town council the control and management thereof. Something of the kind was absolutely necessary in order to prevent further interments in already overcharged ground, and to provide legalized authority in which would rest the power to prevent unseemly desecration, and protect from ruthless disregard the resting place of more than three thousand dead.
This is not only a great historical book about the Old Parish Burying Ground in Windsor and a history of Windsor, it’s people and the area.
