Inside this cemetery in the Municipality of West Interlake are several commemorative monuments. One commemorates St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church at Lily Bay, built using locally raised funds and a donation from St. Cuthbert’s Parish at Great Salkeld, England. Its first service was held on 4 October 1908. Regular services were held until the late 1960s. The church was deconsecrated in January 2000.
A bell from the church, which had been donated around 1912 by Edmund Fleming (1866-1949) and Alice Maud Preston Watson (1877-1952) in memory of their son Frederick Edmund Fleming (1894-1895), remains in the cemetery. Another monument lists some of the names of those interred in the cemetery between 1908 and 2000.
