STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE
The Normanville Wesleyan Cemetery is an important representative of the religious burial practices of the second half of the 19th century. In particular, this cemetery demonstrates the burial practices of the Wesleyan Methodist denomination. Such cemeteries have become increasingly scarce In South Australia, through the destruction of gravesites with an increased demand for burial plots as the State's population has grown. Thus, this Cemetery is a rare surviving example of a 19th-century chapel-yard burial ground that has remained untouched by 20th-century development.
The Cemetery provides examples of the work of monumental masons George Sara, E H Herring and W Hawken. While a similar association could be claimed for other cemeteries in South Australia, the exemplary quality of those headstones that remain at Normanville Wesleyan Cemetery warrants it being regarded as important to South Australia through the outstanding aesthetic, creative and technical accomplishments of these monuments.
STATEMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESIGNATION
The Normanville Wesleyan Cemetery was used for burials for a relatively short period of time, between 1856 and 1893, and is designated a place of archaeological significance as it has the potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of burial/funereal practices in South Australia in the mid to late 19th century.

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
