Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... tower in "Old London" at the exhibition at South Kensington in 1886.1 The churchyard of St. Giles', Cripplegate, the church which contains the monument to Milton, has a long and varied history. It is well known to antiquarians, as the valuable relic, the postern of the City wall, is situated in it. The story of this ground is one of additions and encroachments, and it In 1873 a crypt was made under the tower, in which were deposited the remains from Lambe's Chapel, St. James's in the Wall, Monkwell Street. has found a careful chronicler in Mr. Baddeley, a former churchwarden. The addition running south was called the "Green Churchyard," a name which we find repeated in other parishes--for instance, it was given to the higher portion of the churchyard of St. James', Piccadilly, and to the little piece by St. Bartholomew the Great, approached through the present south transept. The gravestones at St. Giles' have been laid flat, and the ground is neatly kept and generally open, but not provided with seats for the public Until Michaelmas, 1640, "the military" used to be trained in this churchyard.1 There were four churches in the City dedicated to St. Botolph, a pious Saxon who built a monastery, in 654, in Lincolnshire. It is a little curious that all the four churchyards are now public gardens--St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate; St. Botolph's, Aldgate; St. Botolph's, Aldersgate; and St. Botolph's, Billingsgate. The lastnamed church was not rebuilt after the Fire, and the site of one of its churchyards, the "lower ground," is now occupied by a new warehouse with red heads on the frontage, on the south side of Lower Thames Street. What remains of the "upper ground" is a small, three-cornered, asphalted court, open to the public, with seats, ...

IN looking one day at Rocque's plan of London (1742-5) I noticed how many burial-grounds and churchyards were marked upon it which no longer existed. I made a table of them, and traced their destiny, and the result of this research was printed in the First Annual Report of the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association, which was issued in 1884. I then went further, and commenced to draw up a list of all the burying-places, of which I could find any record, still existing, or that had ever existed in London. It was no easy task. A return drawn up by the late Sir Edwin Chadwick in 1843, for the use of the Parliamentary Committee which sat to consider questions relating to the sanitary condition of the labouring classes, contains a most valuable, though not perfectly complete, table of the graveyards in actual use at that date. Then there are the returns of the grounds closed by order in Council in 1853 and 1854, and still open for interments in 1855, which are also very useful. There is a return, dated June, 1833, purporting to show all the "Places of Burial belonging to each Parish or Precinct under the Authority of the Bishop of London," and all the "Places of Burial belonging to Dissenting Congregations within the Bills of Mortality," &c., with their size, and the annual number of burials in them. This, when I found it, I thought would be a great treasure, but I soon discovered such entries as the following: "Three letters have been addressed to the Officiating Ministers of the parishes of St. Benet, Gracechurch, St. Martin, Ludgate, and St. Margaret, Westminster, respectively; but no return has been received from either." "The united parishes of Allhallows, Bread Street, and St. John the Evangelist, not being under the authority of the Bishop of London, I have not any return to make." "I beg to add that there are several other places used as burial-grounds in this parish (Stepney) belonging to Jews, Dissenters, and others, of which I have no official cognizance, and to which, in fact, I have no access," &c. And with regard, generally, to the second part of the return, the following simple remark is made: "The Secretary of State is not able to ascertain the Places of Burial belonging to Dissenting congregations within the Bills of Mortality." In 1839 Walker described the condition of 47 of the most crowded metropolitan places of interment, and the Parliamentary Committee which sat in 1842 heard evidence about these and some others. In Maitland's "History of London" there is a list of 64 burial-places used in the year 1729, and not included in the Bills of Mortality. Some of these are outside London, and some are only vaults under buildings. I have also kept a list of about fifty books which I found of use, although in many of them only a few burial-grounds are mentioned or described. And this, with the addition of various ancient and modern maps and plans of London and its environs, is the material upon which I have had to work. But as it is never safe to take anything on trust, nothing but actual perambulations and inquiries on the spot could show the present size and condition of the burial-grounds, and even several that are marked on the ordnance maps have been built upon since they were published, as, for instance, the German ground in the Savoy, the additional ground to St. Martin's in the Fields, and Thomas' ground in Golden Lane, all of which have disappeared.
