Headstone inscription says: "Sacred to the memory of Henry Pankhurst Martha's grandfather) who departed this life 9th April 1876 Aged 75 years.

Oakhampton Cemetery's first recorded burial was in 1851. The cemetery is of Wesleyan denomination. This mid-nineteenth cemetery is on the banks of the Hunter River at Oakhampton. It is difficult to determine the precise number of monuments due to large amounts of river silt, which has completely covered some monuments. There is a good range of craftmanship and design on display - particularly the stonemasons Browne & Cobby are dominant. Mr William Arnott, the founder of Arnotts Buscuits, and his family are buried here.
