''Burial vaults under Section B, St. Paul's Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia''

Notes from Piers Accession Book: Photograph of burial vaults under section B (adjoining the preceding) under St. Paul's Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia shows in foreground the large tomb on centre-line, supposed to be that of Bishop Charles Inglis, 1816, who would probably be buried before the altar, while Baron de Seitz's open tomb is a little beyond, covered by boards. Also shows original dovetailed pine joists of 1758, 12" wide. To left is the adjoining section C - looking East Southeast from near south end of new west wing; a.m. 29 July 1931.

For plan of vaults, etc., see next page.
