Cemeteries
Liverpool Apex Park
The first, Old Burying Ground, cemetery was located west of the church, on the east bank of Brickmakers Creek. It was short lived due to damp. Being a low level block it was abandoned soon after as too damp. It was cleared in the 1940s and renamed Apex Park.[16]
Liverpool Pioneer Memorial Park
A larger general cemetery area was made north of the glebe. Later re-named the Pioneer Memorial Park with headstones moved.
Current Cemetery
The current general cemetery was made west of the town area.
Precinct
A church area, a glebe, was made just north of the church.
Early records of births, deaths and marriages go back as far as 1811, well before the construction of the current building.[17]
The new parsonage was built in 1840-ish.[18]
