Here
lies John Bunyan, writer of Pilgrim
Progress, and philosopher.
Bunhill Fields was probably originally
called Bone Hill. Located near Moorgate, north of the Square
Mile, it has been a burial site for over 1,000 years. It
was closed in 1854. It was estimated that 123,000 people
had been buried here.
The Public Records Office only lists
burials that took place between 1713 and 1854.
It was noon, but very cloudy, when
I took this photo.
