St Dunstans Mews, E1

St Dunstans Mews faces St Dunstan’s Churchyard.

St Dunstan’s churchyard is nearly seven acres surrounding the church. The churchyard had been enlarged to cope with the massive number of deaths during the Great Plague of London.

St Dunstan’s church has a long traditional link with the sea and many sailors were buried here. It was once known as the ’Church of the High Seas’. The graveyard is also where Roger Crab the 17th-century hermit who lived on a diet solely of herbs, roots, leaves, grass and water is buried. The churchyard closed to burials in 1854.

The Metropolitan Public Gardens Association converted it to a public garden. The garden was opened by the Duchess of Leeds in 1887.
