Pengelley's Cemetery is located at 69 Scriven Road in Bailieboro, just around the boundary line of Peterborough and Port Hope. Pengelley's is the final resting place of Joseph Scriven, whom I posted about in this blog post. You can easily spot the cemetery because there is a heritage plaque in front of the lot.
This is a beautiful little area with a great view, there is something about this place that makes me feel happy everytime I visit. Also, for some reason every time I visit my camera or phone runs out of batteries. It happened this time too, but luckily I had several spares this time.
This is the view from the road, the bushes are a little overgrown right now, but clearly, someone has started pruning them back and cleaning up the property.
And the cute little entrance gate with its pretty purple wreath.
This little, abandoned building sits off to the side of the property. It is empty, and I don't know who it originally belonged to.

And the largest monument in the yard is that dedicated to Joseph Scriven, which was erected by his fanclub. I don't know what happened to his original monument.
This is a small stone with Scrivens name on it,
...and his wife, I believe. These look like markers, but not official headstones.
At the back corner of the yard is this lovely little bench, "In Memory of Pauline Pengelley and Melvin Northey, Married Sept 15, 1951. Rest and Visit a While". You should, the view is lovely.
My father was Michael Blick Pengelley. The cat figure represents his lovely cat, Mousetrap. The cottage belonged to my great Aunt Rita Sept 24 1891-Oct 6, 1986. I remember visiting her at the charming cottage (with no power and no running water) where she would play the piano. Scriven was engaged to his sweetheart Eliza (Roche?) when she died. Thanks for your blog post!
