East Parish Burying Ground, Colonial cemetery in Newton Corner, United States
The East Parish Burying Ground contains numerous gravestones and monuments spread across 125,620 square feet of land near the intersection of Centre and Cotton Streets.
Established in the 1660s alongside the First Church in Newton, this burial ground served as the final resting place for many early settlers of the Massachusetts region.
The cemetery's headstones display different carving styles and inscriptions that document the evolution of mortuary practices from the late 17th century through colonial times.
Visitors can access the burial ground during daylight hours and find the First Settlers Monument, erected in 1852, near the entrance of the property.
The cemetery features a monument listing the precise dates when the first settlers arrived in Newton, with the earliest recorded date being 1640.
