  • 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.

  • Historic Maps and Plans of Islington (1553-1894)
    Mapping Islington Historic maps and plans of Islington (1553-1894) Mapping Islington showcases a selection of maps and plans relating to the three former historic parishes that now form the London Borough of Islington. Maps are a window into the past. They provide historical evidence and offer a valuable insight to bygone streets, industries and landscapes. They are also an important source for local history research and help us to understand the development and changes that have shaped the Plan of parish of St Mary, character and identity of our borough. Islington and its environs. Surveyed by Edward Baker The display’s earliest map dates from mid-16th Century (c.1793) when Islington was a rural village outside of the City of London, ending with a survey published during the late-Victorian era when the area had become a densely populated and urbanised district of north London. The London Borough of Islington was formed in 1965 when the Metropolitan boroughs of Islington and Finsbury merged. In 2019 the borough covers an area of 14.86 km2 and stretches from Highgate in the north to the City of London borders in the south. Before 1900 Islington was historically administered in three distinct civil parishes: • St Mary Islington (north and central) • St James Clerkenwell (south-west) • St Luke Old Street (south-east) The Copperplate Map of London, c.1553-59 Moorfields The Copperplate Map of London is a large-scale plan Frans Franken of the city and its immediate environs. It was originally Museum of London created in 15 printed copperplate sections, of which only three are still in existence.

However, it is also a city well-served by open spaces. There are numerous small parks which provide relief retreat from city life, while areas such as Richmond Park and Riverside, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common are real recreational treasures. Although not so obviously popular, many of our cemeteries and churchyards provide a much overlooked such amenity. Many of those established in Victorian times were designed to be used as places of recreation by the public as well as places of burial. Many are still in use and remain beautiful and interesting places for quiet walks. Some, on ceasing active use for burials, have been developed as wildlife sanctuaries and community parks. As is the case with parklands, there are some especially splendid cemeteries in the capital which stand out from the rest. I would personally recommend the City of London, Islington and St.
