In 1862 Ethelbert Servos donated land on the town line of Barton and Glanford to be used by the Anglican Church for a church and cemetery. The first burial was many years earlier, of James Stanley Pearson in 1835.

The church opened in 1865 and functioned here for 94 years.

In 1958 a new church was built at Upper Gage, and the old church closed. In 1974 the original building was donated to the Niagara Conservation Authority and moved to the Ball’s Falls Conservation Area.

The cemetery is still open for burial and is managed by the City of Hamilton.
