  • Death, Time and Commerce: Innovation and Conservatism in Styles of Funerary Material Culture in 18Th-19Th Century London
    Death, Time and Commerce: innovation and conservatism in styles of funerary material culture in 18th-19th century London Sarah Ann Essex Hoile UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Declaration I, Sarah Ann Essex Hoile confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis explores the development of coffin furniture, the inscribed plates and other metal objects used to decorate coffins, in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London. It analyses this material within funerary and non-funerary contexts, and contrasts and compares its styles, production, use and contemporary significance with those of monuments and mourning jewellery. Over 1200 coffin plates were recorded for this study, dated 1740 to 1853, consisting of assemblages from the vaults of St Marylebone Church and St Bride’s Church and the lead coffin plates from Islington Green burial ground, all sites in central London. The production, trade and consumption of coffin furniture are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 investigates coffin furniture as a central component of the furnished coffin and examines its role within the performance of the funeral. Multiple aspects of the inscriptions and designs of coffin plates are analysed in Chapter 5 to establish aspects of change and continuity with this material. In Chapter 6 contemporary trends in monuments are assessed, drawing on a sample recorded in churches and a burial ground, and the production and use of this above-ground funerary material culture are considered.

The site consists of the proposed utilities corridor and the Broadgate Ticket Hall construction worksite. It incorporates the western end of the roadway of Liverpool Street, and it’s north and south pavements. The report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd. This work follows a previous phase of archaeological evaluation (ending July 2011). While the results of these latest evaluations and watching briefs broadly confirm anticipated findings, they have led to some re-interpretation of previous evaluation results. Natural terrace gravels were overlaid by weathered natural deposits of alluvial clay, interspersed with occasional bands of gravel.

  • C257 LIS XSM10 Broadgate Utilities WB and Excavation Combined Report.Pdf
    Crossrail Broadgate Ticket Hall Excavated Evaluation and GWBs, Fieldwork Report (XSM10) C257-MLA-T1-RGN-CRG03-50014 v2 Non-technical summary This report covers a summary of the results from archaeological fieldwork carried out by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on the site of the future Crossrail Broadgate Ticket Hall, Liverpool Street, London EC2M, within the City of London. The site consists of the new utilities corridor and other utilities diversions within the Broadgate Ticket Hall construction worksite. The report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd. The phases of fieldwork covered in this report include the utilities corridor, sewer shafts MHS1 and MHS2-100 and the open cut sewer diversion. A sewer heading leading from MHS2-100 was undertaken as a general watching brief. This fieldwork follows the initial phase of archaeological evaluation in 2010–2011 (MOLA for Crossrail 2012, C257-MLA-X-RGN-CRG02-50064 [v2]) and 2011–2012 (MOLA for Crossrail 2012, C257-MLA-X-XCS-CRG02-50012 [v2]); the current report amalgamates these results in order to further inform the forthcoming excavation of the future ticket hall. Natural terrace gravels were reached in every trench, overlain by waterlain deposits of alluvial clay interspersed with occasional bands of gravel. These are thought to represent episodes of flooding from the Walbrook stream. The eastern edge of the stream itself was present at the western side of the site, running north–south. While a small group of redeposited struck flints was recovered during the fieldwork, there was no tangible evidence for prehistoric activity on the site itself. Evidence was found for several phases of Roman activity, dating to the early 2nd century AD, demonstrating water management in this area of the Walbrook valley.

St Peter Westcheap R02 St Helen’s Bishopsgate Churchyard Design Brief (Part of Churchyard Enhancement Programme) 1 Introduction The City of London (City) is the local authority for the ‘Square Mile’, as well as having several private interests. Its policies are dedicated to maintaining the City as one of the world’s leading international financial and business centres; to providing high quality services for its residents and the business communities, and for London, as a whole. The City is also responsible for enhancing and maintaining the network of gardens, churchyards, parks, plazas and highway planting across the City not only for enjoyment by residents, workers and visitors but also as an important habitat for wildlife within the urban landscape 2 Background 2.2 Churchyard Enhancement Programme (CEP) Churchyards within the City are historic open spaces and have collective significance as a cultural asset. They form the setting for the numerous listed churches and ancient monuments, providing a refuge from the City’s intensity and are essential places for workers, visitors and residents to rest and enjoy. Many are popular green spaces; however, others are underutilised, uninspiring and in need of improvement. In the future, the public realm will need to support an increasing City population because of new development and the churchyards are a vital public amenity in this context.

  • 6 X 10.Long.P65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-00974-4 - The Dead and the Living in Paris and London, 1500-1670 Vanessa Harding Excerpt More information 1 Introduction A wide plain, apparently of churned mud, stretched almost to the horizon, bounded by the tall buildings of the twentieth-century city. In the distance mechanical diggers and hard-hatted workmen circled purposefully. In the foreground, the top layers of earth had been stripped off, to expose a profusion of human remains, a seeming jumble of skulls, vertebrae, and limb-bones. Looking more carefully, one could see that this was not in fact a pit or mass grave, with bodies tossed in anyhow. The skeletons were mostly laid out and oriented east–west in single graves, but these overlay and intercut each other in a dense pattern of use and re-use of the space. The ground had been opened frequently and repeatedly to accommodate successive burials, and each new cut must have exposed at best quite significant skeletal remains and at worst decomposing bodies. The residue of earlier burials had been shovelled aside to make way for new ones, so that the bones of scores of individuals were contained in this small space. The possibility that a similar density of burial material stretched further in all directions daunted the imagination. This was the scene at Broad Street in the city of London in early 1986, as archaeologists from the Department of Urban Archaeology made the most of their opportunity to investigate the site, between the demolition of the nineteenth-century Broad Street railway station and the erection of the late twentieth-century Broadgate development.1 A visitor to the excavation, I was both shocked and fascinated.

  • London Crossrail: the New Churchyard AD1569 to AD1714 Archaeology Investigation and Dealing with Mass Exhumation
    London Crossrail: The New Churchyard AD1569 to AD1714 Archaeology investigation and dealing with mass exhumation Jay CARVER BaHons | MIFA, Crossrail Project – Canary Wharf, London, UK Abstract: In AD1569 1 a new burial ground was set out in the north of the City of London to cope with the ever increasing demands for burial space within the local parishes. Increasing population, together with 16th century disease epidemics had created an urgent demand for more space and the new metropolitan solution for large extra-urban cemeteries in the suburbs was still some 300 years away. The Bethlem Burial ground, an acre of land adjacent to the infamous hospital, operated for some 200 years. During this time many thousands of interments took place, mostly in simple wood coffins or shrouds, and exceptionally in family brick tombs. When it was discontinued the land was raised sufficiently and the cemetery disappeared from trace below new street layouts and buildings of the Georgian urban housing boom. In the mid-19th century (1861) the construction of the new Broad Street Station and underground ticket hall in the northern part of the cemetery no doubt came across human remains, but in the spirit of the day, there was insufficient notice taken to halt or alter the works. In 1985, development again struck the northern part of the site during redevelopment of the station to create London’s largest new business district at the time, the Broadgate Centre. This time, archaeologists from the Department of Urban Archaeology at the Museum of London were able to carefully excavate a sample of the burial ground.
