The former churchyard of St Anne Blackfriars
The former churchyard of St Anne Blackfriars
The garden covers part of the original medieval Dominican Priory of Blackfriars, which stood on this site until it was dissolved in 1538. The priory was replaced by the parish church of St Anne Blackfriars until this in turn was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1666 when the parish was united with St Andrew-by-the Wardrobe.

The area was used as a churchyard until 1849. The level has been raised by the enormous number of burials which took place here in the 18th and 19th centuries. A crumbling section of wall is a surviving fragment from the Priory of the Dominicans. The garden has been maintained since 1964 by the Corporation of London.
