“The Gore Hill Memorial Cemetery was established in 1868 and, by virtue of its design and historical associations, it is an important place in the
pattern of the cultural history of NSW.
In its layout, monuments and plants demonstrates the religious philosophies and changing attitudes to death and its commemoration by a
significant sample of the Australian population over a period of more than 100 years.
Aesthetically, the cemetery is a rare and representative example of a particularly fine and intact Late Victorian/Edwardian landscaped public
burial ground with landmark qualities, important plantings and a wealth of high quality funerary architecture demonstrating the skills of the
artisans who crafted the monuments.”
