Introduction
The churchyard was converted to lawns between 1958-78 although some tombs remain on the south side of the church. In the 1980s the church exterior was cleaned and cast-ion railings were reinstated around the churchyard. The church still forms a focal point in the centre of the busy road system, now close to the London 2012 Olympic Park.
