Spring Garden, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Old Burying Ground is the former cemetery of St. Paul's Anglican Church, and is the oldest one in Halifax - its first burial dates back to 1749, one day after the arrival of the original convoy of colonists from Britain. Among the historic figures buried here are Major General Robert Ross, the British military commander responsible for the burning of Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812. The cemetery was decommissioned in 1843 and eventually fell into decline, but was taken over in the 1980s by the eponymous Old Burying Ground Foundation who have refurbished the site, have restored many of the old tombstones, and run seasonal interpretive tours (I was not on one of them when I took this photo, though). Spring Garden, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. L'Ancien cimetière appartenait autrefois à l'Église anglicane St-Paul, et c'est la plus ancienne à Halifax - son premier enterrement remonte à 1749, un jour après l'arrivée du premier équipe de colons de la Grande-Bretagne. Parmi les personnages historiques enterrés ici sont Major-Général Robert Ross, le commandant militaire britannique qui était responsable de l'incendie de Washington, DC au cours de la Guerre anglo-américaine de 1812. Le cimetière a été fermé en 1843 et finalement est tombé en déclin, mais il a été repris en les années 1980 par l'éponyme Old Burying Ground Foundation (Fondation de L'Ancien cimetière) qui ont rénové le site, ont restauré beaucoup des vieilles pierres tombales, et montent des visites guidées saisonnières (malgré que je n'en faisais pas partie quand j'ai pris cette photo). Spring Garden, Halifax, Nueva Escocia. La Antigua Tierra de Entierros es el antiguo cementerio de la Iglesia Anglicana de Sa Pablo, y es el más antiguo de Halifax - su primer entierro se remonta a 1749, un día tras la llegada de la primera barcada de colonos de Gran Bretaña. Entre los personajes históricos que se entierran aquí son el Mayor General Robert Ross, el comandante militar britênico que era responsable de la quema de Washington, DC durante la Guerra Anglo-Estadounidense de 1812. El cementerio se dio de baja en 1843 y finalmente entró en decadencia, pero se adquirió en los años 1980 por la epónima Old Burying Ground Foundation (Fundación de la Antigua Tierra de Entierros) que han renovado el sitio, restaurado muchas de las viejas lápidas y montan recorridos interpretativos estacionales (sin embargo, yo no estaba en uno de ellos cuando tomé esta foto). |
