Description
College Church Cemetery is located at 418 College Road in Hampden-Sydney, Prince Edward County, Virginia, beside the College Church and within the Hampden-Sydney College Historic District. The cemetery includes roughly 200 graves in two sections: about 50 beside the church, with burials dating from 1821 to 2016, and approximately 150 across Atkinson Avenue, including graves dating to 1736.

([dhr.virginia.gov](https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/historic-registers/073-0058/?utm_source=openai)) The cemetery property is separate from the college despite its campus setting, and its care is administered by a church cemetery committee. Burial spaces are reserved for members of the congregation rather than the general public.
