  • Cemetery Records
    RESEARCH GUIDE Cemetery Records Research Guide 5: Cemetery Records CONTENTS Introduction Main cemetery records held at LMA Bunhill Fields (CLC/271) New Bunhill Fields, Islington (B/NBF) The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford (CLA/052) The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (CTHC) Other cemetery records at LMA Indexes and Transcripts in the LMA Library Records held elsewhere Introduction Before the mid-19th century most burials in London took place in churchyards and from the mid-16th century were recorded in parish registers. Some hospitals and other institutions had their own burial grounds. From the time of the Black Death special burial grounds outside the City walls were provided for people who died from the periodic epidemics of plague which afflicted London. Land to the north of the Artillery Ground known as Bunhill Fields was set aside in 1665 as a plague burial ground, but was not used for this purpose. It then became a burial ground for nonconformists. After 1690 many nonconformist meeting houses and chapels were established in London some of which had their own burial grounds. By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards. Some of these burial grounds were originally connected to chapels adjoining them, but were subsequently bought by private individuals. By 1835 there were at least fourteen such burial grounds in London including Spa Fields, Clerkenwell, opposite London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) where about 80, 000 people were buried. An enquiry in 1843 discovered that about 40 burials were taking place each day.
