Comments on: The Tombs of Old London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/12/31/the-tombs-of-old-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 08 Oct 2022 21:12:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Philip Hodgson https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/12/31/the-tombs-of-old-london/#comment-1486793 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 21:12:02 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=75706#comment-1486793 Can anybody tell me which firm cleared all the monuments, and gravestones from Christchurch Spitalfields churchyard in 1950?
I am trying to find the final resting place of my 4 x great grandfather.
Or at the very least, what happened to these gravestones?
I have tried the London Metropolitan Archives, but they have no record as to burial plots on the still consecrated churchyard.

Please know that your words are eagerly read and photos devoured every morning in Melbourne, Victoria, (ashamed to add these days, Australia)

Thank you so very much.

I had been living a year in London (2009-2010) attending a Master at London Metropolitan University. I love London. I came across your website.
Do you accept a hug form Italy? Don’t feel alone, our dearest are near us.
Gianna

It makes me sad that you have no family and my offer to research your family tree should you want me to, stands. 🙂

I have no connection to this part of the world, (Swedish), but surely this must be the best and most interesting blog on the net

Best wishes, Tommy
