Old English Cemetery, located at 220 N Church Street in Salisbury, NC, is a historic burial ground that spans 14 acres and dates back to 1794. It is the final resting place for notable figures, including community leaders, Confederate soldiers, and the first Confederate Governor of North Carolina, John Ellis, as well as a section dedicated to the burial of enslaved and free African Americans.

The cemetery is home to the Old English Freedman's Cemetery, where 150 known and unknown individuals are interred. After the city assumed ownership in 1975, it was closed for future burials, and a memorial was dedicated in 2005 to honor those buried there, featuring their names and dates on a memorial wall.
