The cemetery is located in the woods about 200' east of the first tee on the golf course at Ridgeview Country Club. It is the burial ground associated with "Sudley," built c. 1760, which formerly stood about 200 yards to the west of the clubhouse. The remains of a stone wall surround the site, which is planted with vinca minor. There are seven marble headstones of exceptional workmanship, most having been displaced and/or broken, and evidence of 15+ unmarked burials.
