St. Olave's Churchyard, Silver Street. The site of the burned church. An area that was flattened during WW2. The Churchyard survived, though the surroundings are utterly changed. It is now in London Wall. By 1841 the ground was out of use. St Olave's consecrated a small additional ground in 1612 but the location is not clear. |

St. Ann and St. Agnes, Gresham Street. More churchyard-like and less sanitised than many in London. In the fourteenth century ground was to the south, but it was extended to the east of the church. c. 70 burials a year in the 1840s. |

St. John Zachary, Gresham Street. Site of burned church and its churchyard. Incorporated with St Ann and St Agnes and used by the combined parish for burials until the 1850s, though by 1841 only around six burials took place each year. Had been run down, but extensive work in 2002 has produced an attractive garden provided by the Goldsmith's company. |

Lost ground Burial grounds of St Martin le Grand and St Leonard, Foster Lane. W. side of Foster Lane. The General Post Office was built here in the 1840s - now offices. The area marked in red is probably the site of the church, destroyed in the fire. The original large burial ground of St Martin Le Grand extended to the south, covering part of the ground shown as open space on Horwood. |
