grounds St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge. Small paved yard to south of church. Almost certainly much more extensive in the past. Chadwick (1841) gives dimensions of just 44 square yards. Largely cleared by 1896 and remains taken to Brookwood. See below for the additional ground. Was the area of Old London Bridge roadway used for burials post 1830? The body of Miles Coverdale was moved here in 1841. |
