St Mary's Church Grounds (also known as St Mary's Church on Paddington Green)

Introduction

The former churchyard is in two parts divided by Church Walk, the northern part converted to a public garden in 1885, now called St Mary's Churchyard. The southern acre of land around the church was also opened as a public garden in 1892 and contains many good sarcophagi and monuments dating from the late C18th/early C19th. The southern part of the garden was lost when the Westway flyover was built and a number of graves had to be exhumed and the remains were re-interred at Mill Hill Cemetery.
