St John's Anglican Church, Stewarttown is located on the southwest corner of Trafalgar Road and 15th Sideroad. The cemetery is not at the church but rather a little farther north on Trafalgar Rd atop a hill protected by a large retaining wall. It is probably best to park at the church and walk down to the cemetery. Access is by cement steps up the side of the hill.

In 1849, land was given by William Morrison for a church and burying ground. There was some disagreement among the congregation as to whether the church should be built in such a location, as it was on a hill, and it was felt that the climb might be too much for old people. The land was retained, however, and used as a cemetery.

In 1880, the Wesleyan Methodists closed their church on the corner of Trafalgar Rd and 15th Sideroad and it was bought by the Anglicans. This is the present St John's Anglican Church.

Although the cemetery land was given in 1849, there are earlier monuments. Possibly these people were buried first on a family farm or removed from McCullough's Pioneer Cemetery when it closed in the late 1800s.
