The Valentine Cemetery is not noticeable in spite of its prominent location on East Main Street as one approaches the center of Town. A series of crypts or tombs are built into the slope and a granite block retaining wall with tomb doors is all that one sees of the cemetery.
Once the Episcopal burial ground, the Valentine Cemetery is location on the 1745 land grant to the Church of England, hence the Episcopal Church. The Church was located on the corner of Ash and Main Streets just west of this burying ground. It burned in 1865 and was rebuilt further west on Main Street. This cemetery was used only by a few families including the Valentines, Claflins and Gouldings during the nineteenth century.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as HPK.804 Valentine Cemetery.
This cemetery is referred to as GR5 Saint Paul's Churchyard in the "Vital Records of Hopkinton Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849".
