When the Methodist Chapel was built at Burton, three miles west of Salisbury, burials commenced in the church yard in 1858. The first burial at Burton was that of George Diment, aged 10 1/2 years, in December 1866. Burials continued until 1957, after which there was a long gap until the last burial of Lydia Wright, aged 82 years in April 1971. Today there is no church and the shattered headstones, the work of senseless vandals, remain as a pitiful remembrance of our sturdy pioneers.
