Joseph Grimaldi Park (also known as Burial ground of the Church of St James's)

Introduction

Many of the headstones remain stacked against the north boundary wall of the old burial ground. It takes its name from the famous clown Joseph Grimaldi buried here in 1837 and whose railed grave remains in the park.
