Irreplaceable Artifacts Now on Permanent Display
The brass keys to the Langley tomb's main door and the remaining unused cabinets were recently donated by the Trust to the Department of Public Works where they are on display.
The keys are now housed in a mahogany case funded by the Trust; the large keys are used to unlock the main door well below grade, and the smaller ones are used to open and close the seven empty cabinets. Five of the original keys remain today in the cabinet doors behind which five
persons are interred.

For many years, the keys were in possession of the funeral home here in Medfield. At an unknown date, they were given to the Medfield Historical Society for safe-keeping. After the Trust was gifted the collection, it was proposed that the Town keep them as cemetery property.
