There are about sixty-five interments to the left of this church. Next door is another church with a similar amount of interments. In the middle of both burial grounds are some very old stones inside a wrought iron fence, perhaps a line of demarcation between the two burial grounds. Mays Landing Presbyterian Church is a historic church at Main Street and Cape May Avenue in Mays Landing, New Jersey. It was built in 1841 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
From my previous waymark about this site
This is a rather small and narrow church. It looks like a single room structure. It is a second elevation with stone steps to get up tot he entrance. There is a 1841 marker above the entrance door but in no way is this a dated stone or cornerstone. The front of the church features a large pediment supported by 4 columns. The church is of brick. There is also a porch up front as well with balustrades in front, all painted white.
There is a cemetery to the left and another church beyond that. Between these two churches are lots of graves and stones and I wasn't sure which stone went with which church. I do know for sure that there are separate burial grounds for these two churches. I was unable to find a website for this church except for a minor Wikipedia entry, which yielded little information.
