                               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
in the Province of Ontario.

TYPE 

Designation under The Ontario Heritage Act.

OWNER 

Council of the United Church of Canada, Toronto United Church.

                               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.
