About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Christ Church Milton provides an enduring custodianship of the Milton

Memorial Reserve, preserving 21 headstones of the 505 headstones that

were transferred during 1913 from the former adjoining North Brisbane

Burial Grounds (Paddington Cemetery 1843-1875). No records were kept

and some headstones destroyed others were moved to Toowong Cemetery.

Christ Church History - in 1873, with the congregation growing, the

parish of Christ Church Milton was formed. The mortuary chapel that

services were previously held in, soon became inadequate and it was

decided to look for possible sites for a new church.

A stone church with a shingle roof was built adjacent to the Anglican

section of the Paddington cemetery and dedicated in January 1876. It was

named the Memorial Church. On 22 December 1890, the Memorial Church was

extensively damaged in a thunderstorm. So severe was the damage that the

building was considered to be beyond repair and plans were prepared for

a new building.

In 1891, a temporary wooden building with timber shingles was built

adjacent to the site of the old church. This 'temporary' church remains

to this day and is a heritage-listed building. The heritage-listed

rectory was built in 1884 and is still in use today.[extract from
