Lonely Planet review for Toronto Necropolis

The remains of 984 of Toronto's colonists, including the city's first mayor William Lyon Mackenzie, were transferred to this wickedly named cemetery in the 1850s when the old Potter's Field burial ground near Todmorden Mills started to contaminate the town. A road leads off Winchester St through the gates of the Necropolis, passing a Victorian Gothic chapel with a multicolored slate roof.
