St Andrew's Garden was consecrated in 1754 as a
new burial ground serving St Andrew's Church, Holborn when the churchyard became full. It closed for burials in 1850
and later reopened as a public garden in 1885 when the St Pancras Borough Council purchased the site.
Most of the headstones have now been re-located near
to the northern entrance where a plaque commemorates the opening of the public garden by Lady Manners on July 29th 1885. Only
a few interesting chest tombs remain in prominence today some of which are fenced off due to subsidence and collapse.
Upon our visit in October 2014 the gardens seemed a popular
place for dog walking or simply sitting in the open air enjoying the autumn sunshine.
