The London Burial Grounds
NOTES ON THEIR HISTORY FROM
THE EARLIEST TIMES TO
THE PRESENT DAY
BY
Mrs. BASIL HOLMES
“Thou that intendest to the Church to Day,
Come take a turn or two, before thou go’st.
In the Churchyard; the Walk is in the way.
Who takes best heed in going, hasteth most:
But he that unprepared rashly ventures,
Hastens perhaps to seal his Death’s Indentures”
George Herbert

“First learn to love one living man;
Then may’st thou think upon the dead.”
Wordsworth.
To Those
who Love the Living
I Dedicate
these Details of
the Dwellings of the Dead.
“October sheds the leaf and April brings it;
So one flower fadeth and another springs;
Earth renovates itself.”
H. Bonar.
