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.
