Located on the grounds of St Clements Anglican Church. The first burial in the Saint Clements grounds was in 1843, and the graveyard was officially closed in 1868, although there was a final burial in 1965. Current records show 78 burials in the graveyard.In 1968 a columbarium was established, and there are now 250 interments in 7 sections.
Over the years the crowded graveyard fell into disrepair with many headstones fallen and broken.
The NSW Conversion of Cemeteries Act of 1974 which enabled cemeteries under the control of councils to be dedicated as public parks and the Parochial Council, of that time, decided to take advantage of it.
Some stones belonging to people considered important were retained. A further nine or more were apparently too heavy to be lifted onto the truck and were left in a pile under the drooping pine trees.
These were later re-erected in the Draffan Precinct immediately behind the church, which was dedicated 2nd November 2006
