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.

Some vaults, such as those under the Guildhall Chapel, the Rolls Chapel, and the notorious Elton Chapel, Clements Lane, have disappeared with the buildings; and it must be remembered that the City churches that have lost their churchyards have vaults underneath them, and so have other buildings, such as the Charterhouse Chapel and cloisters, the burial-ground there being of much later date, and detached from the chapel.
