Description
Serving as a place of interment at least since 1623, possibly since Saxon times, Bunhill Fields is the last survivor of the small burial grounds that could once be found all throughout London. The site has been the final resting place for some 120,000 people, many of them Nonconformists, including notables John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe, William Blake, and John Wesley's mother, Susannah. With an abundance of mature trees and lively birds, Bunhill Fields is now a popular green escape for Londoners.
