About This Book

A historical survey traces the development, use, and disappearance of London's burial-places from ancient times through the nineteenth century, examining parish churchyards, monastic and cathedral cemeteries, plague pits and pest-fields, dissenting and foreign communities' grounds, and hospital, workhouse, and private cemeteries. The study documents closures and sanitary reforms, the transformation of disused churchyards into public gardens, and the arrangement and management of active cemeteries, supplemented by illustrative plans, lists of sites, and practical guidance for cemetery design, concluding with observations about future burial policy and urban open space.
