| Administrative / biographical background: |
Upper Street Independent Chapel, built in 1788, had attached to it a small graveyard, which in 1817 was extended by the Rev. Evan Jones; since the ground was used for nonconformist burials it became known as New - or Little - Bunhill Fields. By the early 1850s it was managed by a private company, cf. Abney Park, City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery. By 1895 the ground had been divided up, and no visible sign remained of its former use. Burials were removed to Islington Cemetery, Trent Park in 1996/7. |
