Valeur patrimoniale
Moore's Cemetery is a burying ground for many of the area's earliest pioneers. It is associated with the Moore Family as the cemetery is located on land which once belonged to Samuel Moore, believed to be Malton's first pioneer. The first burial occurred in 1844; there are 77 known burials but there could be up to 87 interments. It is one of the last remnants of pioneer life in the Malton area.
Moore's Cemetery is a good representation of nineteenth century cemetery design. It is characterised by a natural setting, markers and monuments and a park-like layout for public use.
