The latest in a series on post-medieval burial produced by MOLA, this
volume reports on three non-Church of England burial grounds in the
London Borough of Tower Hamlets, excavated between 2004 and 2010. It
looks at over 1350 burials of Baptists, Roman Catholics and
Nonconformists, the majority of whom died in 1820-54, and examines the
archaeological and osteological evidence, along with the historical and
documentary sources. The discussions aim to place the three populations
within the wider context of 19th-century London and Britain, with the
findings well illustrated and fully tabulated throughout.
