St Peter's Anglican Cemetery at East Maitland, also known as East Maitland Anglican, was originally known as the Glebe Cemetery and is often referred to as such today. The burial ground was consecrated on St Peter's Day 1843 by the Church of England.
The cemetery is the Maitland areas oldest burial ground with the earliest recorded burial in 1830, although earlier unmarked graves are likely. Its monuments form a record of the early families of the district. The adjacent quarry, established by 1835, provided stone for the first St Peter's Church, the Catholic Chapel, private dwellings and headstones for the cemetery.
In 1994 the cemetery was transferred to the Maitland City Council and is now listed on the NSW State Heritage Register.
