Introduction
East Greenwich Pleasaunce is the former walled burial ground of the old Royal Hospital at Greenwich. In 1926 the burial ground was sold to Greenwich MBC. Railings around the tombstones were removed and part of the ground was landscaped as a park although the gravestones remain in the central area.
