What is recorded here

Rectangular-plan graveyard, established c. 1890, to northeast of former High Park Convent. Six neat rows of gravestones commemorating nuns of Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of Refuge. Trees inside south wall of graveyard.

This graveyard is a tranquil place of interment and remembrance of the nuns of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of Refuge. The nuns operated one of the controversial Magdalene laundries to the south of their convent, the workers being housed within the complex.
