520 _a"The London Burial Grounds" by Isabella M. Holmes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the evolution and history of burial sites in London, from ancient times to the present day, highlighting the significance of both renowned and lesser-known graveyards. The narrative aims to bring attention to the often-overlooked history of these areas and the specific customs surrounding burial practices in different eras. The opening of the book introduces the author's ongoing research that began with an analysis of burial sites documented on historical maps of London, particularly one from the 18th century. The author describes the challenges encountered while compiling a comprehensive list of burial grounds, including those that have vanished over time due to urban development. The initial chapter emphasizes the importance of firsthand exploration and local testimony in uncovering the layered history of these spaces, as well as the personal experiences of the author while seeking information about various graveyards, illustrating the blend of research, history, and inquiry that characterizes the book.
