The cemetery is located in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, in the present-day community of Lakefield, Gore Township, Argenteuil, Quebec. The church and cemetery are easily accessible and located approximately 100 meters (100 yards) east of Highway 329, on the south side of Chemain Cambria (Cambria Street), adjacent to the north shore of Lake Dawson. The church was constructed in 1859, although it is possible that burials took place in the cemetery prior to 1859. The Church of England in Canada (now known as the Anglican Church) began keeping separate records for Gore Township births, marriages, and deaths in 1837. Both the church and cemetery are still in active use today.

The name of the community in which the cemetery is located and the names of surrounding communities have changed over the years. The church and cemetery served Church of England (Anglican, Episcopalian) members of the communities of Gore Township, Mille Isles, Lakefield, and the northern areas of Argenteuil County (now known as the MRC of Argenteuil).

Between 200 and 300 people are interred in the cemetery. As of September 2015, approximately 95% of the headstones have been photographed and recorded on Find A Grave. Approximately 5% of the headstones are not easily legible due to erosion or lichen growth on the stones.
