Burns Cemetery is located on what used to be known as Concession 10, Lot 12, Hullett Township directly east of Londesborough, Ontario.
According to the Land Registry office, this land was originally deeded to George Watt in 1855 from the Canada Co. Then On May 29, 1860 (registered June 8, 1860) George Watt Sr. deeded off 3/4 acre to the trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Hullett. The original trustees who signed as witnesses were Robert Reid, George Watt Jr., and James Watt.
On March 31, 1876 (reg. April 21, 1876) George Stewart et al deeded to George Hamilton for the church trustees an additional ½ acre. On February 20, 1958 (reg, April 1, 1958) William Leiper granted to the trustees of Burns United Church (John McEwing, Edward F. Bell, and Kelland McVittie) an additional part lot.
In 1858, the church was initially called "The Hullett Free Church", but in 1861, as money was needed to build a manse, various fund raising activities took place, so the members changed the name to "the Canada Presbyterian Church of Hullett". In 1863, the name was again changed to "Burns' Church, Hullett". In 1932, as part of the union of the two Londesboro congregations (Constance and Burns), the new name given was "Burns United Church, Hullett.". This was in the context of the amalgamation of a number of protestant churches in Canada under the banner of the United Church of Canada (started in 1925).
The church is no longer standing, although the cemetery is still an active, well-kept site with a cemetery board of trustees to maintain it.
