Lime Rock Cemetery in
Lime Rock Cemetery
| The cemetery in Lime
Rock, located on Route 112 opposite the Outfield Entrance of
Lime Rock
Park, and across Dugway Road from
Trinity Church, is
a separate entity from Trinity Church, and is managed by the Lime Rock
Cemetery Association, who do so for the Town of Salisbury, which owns the
ground. Notwithstanding the organizational separation, there are close
historic, personal and organizational ties between the church and the
cemetery, not the least of which are the Trinity parishioners who are
buried here. Interestingly,
this is not the original Lime Rock cemetery. The distinction of
being first, however, has been eclipsed by the removal of the original
cemetery, which was located around a mile west of the present cemetery,
with re-burial in this cemetery many years ago. |

What's Lime Rock Cemetery like?
People ask this question frequently,
especially people who live a long distance from Lime Rock. They're
glad to see photos of individual headstones, of course, but questions
about the overall setting -- and particularly the columbarium (an
increasingly popular alternative for many people today) -- frequently
come up. How to help?
Jeff Silvernale was able to enlist the
services of Root Tree Service to provide an aerial bucket for
photographic services, so here we present some pictures, both from
ground level and above, of Lime Rock Cemetery, and particularly of the
columbarium. Click on any of these pictures to see a larger image. |

Monuments at Lime Rock Cemetery:
In response to several
requests, we are happy to provide here photographs of a few of the
monuments in the Lime Rock Cemetery. Those initially shown are both
from families with historically close ties to the parish and stones that
simply caught the webmaster's eye while wandering through the cemetery.
Please click the button to
 if you know of a particular monument in the Lime Rock
Cemetery you would like pictured here. Subject to the constraints of time
and weather (obviously it's not possible to do much cemetery photography
in the Winter months), we will do our best to comply.
Please note
that additional stones appear on the Lime Rock: an Illustrated Walking
Tour CD-ROM.
