Organized in 1839, the Binbrook Particular Baptist Association first bought property in 1853 when it purchased land from William Young for £15. The first church was built in 1854 and in 1855 the first burial took place. In 1971 the Church began construction of a new building which is located on the same property, but the responsibility for the cemetery has since been transferred to the City of Hamilton.

Notable Burials:

Benjamin Leslie Guyatt (1887-1953) Doctor
