Old North Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Maplewood Avenue in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is a roughly parcel of land north of the city center on the shore of North Mill Pond. Its earliest burials are dated to 1751, although it was not formally established as a cemetery until 1753. It is the largest of the city's 18th century cemeteries, and is remarkable for the relatively distant locations some of the stonecarvers came from whose work appears in it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Old North Cemetery )〕 The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.〔 == Notable burials == * Capt.
