St Davids Park
St David’s Park is located on the site of St David’s cemetery. St David’s Park is a formal English style walled park and dates from the beginning of European settlement in 1804. This was the site of the first burial ground in Tasmania, marked out by Lieutenant-Governor David Collins and the Reverend Robert Knopwood in April 1804. At that time the burial ground was ’a place of real seclusion and rare beauty’ crossed by two crystal streams with fine old blackwood trees dotted through the groves of wattle on the high ground, located away from the main settlement and surrounded by an ‘exquisite natural shrubbery’. It was called St David’s Cemetery as a mark of respect to the memory of the Colony’s founding Lt Governor, Lt Col David Collins. Collins himself was buried there in March 1810.
About a year afterwards the first church in Tasmania was built on the spot, with its altar directly above his grave. The opening of the Cornelian Bay cemetery in 1872 allowed St Davids and all the other burial grounds within the city to be closed.
