Tombs in St Alfege Park

This view inside the Bardsley Lane entrance shows how larger tombs have been left standing, and simpler headstones moved to the perimeter of the park.

St Alfege Park, Greenwich

St Alfege Park was originally two orchards and the old churchyard. The orchards were given to the church in 1802 to be used as a new burial ground. That burial ground is long since closed and the park is now under the management of Greenwich Council.
