Dagmar Terrace, N1

Dagmar Terrace leads off Essex Road.

From Dagmar Terrace is a view of the parish church of St Mary. This is an old site and was associated with Charles Wesley. It was rebuilt in 1754 by Launcelot Dowbiggin, who is buried there. After Second World War bombing, only the tower and steeple remained and the rebuilding of the church was supervised by Seeley & Paget. The same bombs put paid to most of the rest of Dagmar Terrace.

The churchyard was closed to burials in 1853 and laid out as a public garden in 1885.
