Burial History in City of London
Bunhill Fields, London's most significant Nonconformist burial ground, was used from 1665 until 1854 and contains an estimated 123,000 interments. Deliberately placed outside the City walls so that Dissenters could be buried without Anglican rites, its occupants include John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe, William Blake and Susannah Wesley, mother of the founders of Methodism. The City of London Cemetery at Manor Park in Newham, opened in 1856 by the City Corporation to relieve its medieval churchyards, is now the largest active municipal cemetery in Europe.
