Lat: 42° 09' 36"N, Lon: 70° 47' 28"W

rom Norwell center (intersection of Rte 123 and River Rd), take River Road south 2-3 miles until it crosses over Rte 3. Turn right when you see the second street sign for Common Street. Cemetery is on your left.

This cemetery is also known as “Old Cemetery at Church Hill” and “Church” cemetery. It is still active, although it dates from the early 1700s and many older burials can be found here. A monument on the hill reads 'Site of Saint Andrews Church, Oct 11, 1731 thru June 13, 1811'. There is a small section of gravestones next to the road, the remainder are up a dirt road on a hill. There is no sign roadside, but it sits opposite Pinehurst Cemetery on Common Street. It is mowed and manicured and in good condition.

The property is privately owned and managed by Church Hill Cemetery Corp, a nonprofit burial association. Contact: Lida M. Griffiths, Treasurer, 196 Plain St, Pembroke, MA 02359-3719.
