The Quaker Cemetery is a privately owned cemetery in Leicester, Massachusetts, established in 1740 and located at the site of the old meeting house of the Leicester Friends (Quakers) on Earle Street in the village of Manville.
[2] His homestead and main farm lay on both sides of Mulberry Street in Leicester and included the slope where the Friends' meetinghouse and cemetery would be located.
At that time, the original meetinghouse was sold to Luther Ward, who moved it to another location (the intersection of Rutland Road and what was once called Tea Lane) and fitted it out for his residence.
The more recent meetinghouse was still standing among the graves in 1860 but was no longer in use at that time as most of the Quakers had moved away, many to Worcester.
The stone precinct wall, granite posts, and iron gates (since removed) were installed under the terms of a bequest made in 1892 by Dr. Pliny Earle, whose parents and other family members were buried there.
