St. Michael, Queenhithe. Church demolished 1873. It has been suggested that Cleary Gardens may cover part of the burial ground, but these gardens are on the west side of Huggin Hill, and there is no map evidence for a ground here - this area was not open ground until post-war clearance of the bomb-site. However, Chadwick (1841) describes a second ground of 158 square yards in 'Trinity Lane' - almost certainly this was the ground of Holy Trinity the Less described below. Private garden for St. James's Rectory. (Holmes) |
