The cemeteries consist of six erven. The two oldest parts (erven 3482 and 3481) along Bland Street were given to the English and Dutch Reformed Churches in 1857. In 1875 was a part (erf 3478) behind the D.R. Cemetery given to the Catholic Church. In 1880 the English Church section was extended to include erf 3479 behind the earlier erf, and in 1882 was the Berlin Mission (Lutheran) given erf 3484 on Bland Street beyond the oldest part. In 1891 the poor Berlin Mission built a fine stone wall on three sides of its area. The English and D.R. Churches later also built stone walls. It is important that the old cemeteries are preserved in the Town Planning Scheme for all future. The landscaping, including tree planting of the cemetery should be investigated.
