So far I have not had any luck in finding a record of what is left after making it into a park – do you know if there is any record of what headstones are actually there now? I visited a couple of times last Summer and the Warden was never in residence.

I just heard you on CBC’s As It Happens (Canada) talking about ‘the Hardy tree.’ This post brings back memories as my grandmother and uncle lived on Bunhill Row. (He served many years with the HAC.) As a young boy I was intrigued by the cemetery but had no idea of its historical significance, so thank you. I was also very young and quite traumatised by the bombed out area across the street (pre-Barbican) that even a decade on was so fresh from the Blitz. Hopefully one day I’ll get back to London and be able to come on one of your walks. Looking forward to your book. Cheers to you, Tim.
