Quaker Cemetery, Historic Quaker cemetery in Leicester, Massachusetts.
The cemetery contains numerous grave markers and headstones arranged in traditional Quaker style, with simple inscriptions marking the final resting places of community members.
Established in 1740, this burial ground began with the interment of John Potter and has served as the final resting place for prominent Quaker families like Earle and Southwick.
The modest design and layout of the graves reflect core Quaker principles of simplicity and equality, distinguishing it from more elaborate Christian burial grounds.
The Worcester Friends Meeting maintains the cemetery grounds, which visitors can access via an unpaved road between Mulberry Street and Manville Street.
Stone gates installed between 1892 and 1894 feature a design resembling sun rays, leading to the alternative name Spider Gates Cemetery.
