Description
Illustration from "Cripplegate Ward" by J.J. Baddeley (1921), showing St Alphage Churchyard, City of London, viewed from the south side of London Wall (the old street of that name), containing a portion of the old City Wall. The plaque on the Wall, visible above the iron railings and slightly left of the right-hand tree, reads: 'The burial ground of St Alphage containing part of the Old Roman City Wall, closed by Act of Parliament 1853. Laid out as a Garden in 1872. George Kemp, Rector. William Smith, C.P. Tattersall, Churchwardens’. The plaque is still in place, though severely weather-damaged in places. The old London Wall, which ran parallel to Fore Street to the south, ceased to exist when the construction of the dual carriageway, also known as London Wall (and also as Route 11), commenced in 1957. A horse-drawn carriage is in view.
