The Memorial Garden at the Unitarian Church of Westport is located at 10 Lyons Plain Road in Westport. It is a unique layout, with sitting areas surrounded by rock walls at the top and bottom of a staircase which winds through a field of plaques that commemorate the deceased. There wasn't a lot to photograph; I mainly took the opportunity to pay my respects to Brett Somers (information and photograph of her plaque, below).

Estimated number of interments, as of January 2024: at least 12.

Photos were taken 22 March 2021.
