Lost grounds St. Christopher le Stocks. Church demolished In 1781 to make way for expansion of the Bank of England. The churchyard became a garden in the Bank Called Garden Court. The last burial there was a bank clerk named Jenks. As he was over 7 feet tall, his corpse was eagerly sought by anatomists, and it was thought that a burial ground inside a bank was the safest option. It was not to be - he was dug up in the 1930s when the bank expanded and moved with other remains to Nunhead. Built over in 1934. |

The Churchyard of the Dutch Church, Austin Friars The Dutch church, once the church of the Austin Friars, contained many distinguished pre-reformation burials. It was destroyed in the war. On rebuilding in the 1950s the many burials found under the church were cremated and the ashes interred in a new crypt. The burial-ground was on the south side, now built over. This was the original cemetery of the Austin Friars. The were possible burials in the cloisters, on the north side of the church. |
