SCHEDULE A TO BY-LAW No. 301-1998
DESCRIPTION OF LAND
Plan 217, Lot 21 and 23, on east side of Markham road at Verne Crescent, in the City of Toronto

SCHEDULE B TO BY-LAW No. 301-1998
REASONS FOR THE DESIGNATION OF THE MALVERN PRIMITIVE METHODIST CEMETERY .
Malvern Primitive Methodist Cemetery is recommended for designation for historic reasons.
The site was the location of the only church structure to serve Scarborough s early settlers in
the crossroad community known as Malvern. Built in 1864, the frame Methodist Church was
demolished in 1975 and only the stone memorials located in the church cemetery remain as
reminders of those who lived and worked in what was once the thriving community of Malvern.
The cemetery is closed to future interments and includes only a small number of graves. However,
the remaining monuments are memorials to the pioneers of Malvern village including members of the
Badgerow, Burton, Ormerod, Pearson and Robbins families.
Because no church remains on the vacant site and there is little else remaining of old Malvern
village, the cemetery is recommended for designation for historic reasons.
