Cartographic CoordinatesNo heretic could be buried in consecrated ground and Bunhill Fields was an extramural dumping ground, first used to bury plague victims. Besides Blake; Bunyan, Defoe, and many other giants of non-conformist history grace this ground beneath the splendid trees which withstood Hitler's bombs with contempt. Also buried here are Buxton, the humanitarian, and Bayes the mathematician with maybe a hundred and fifty thousand others. I nearly forgot to mention that it also harbors our very own George Fox! Milton wrote much of Paradise Lost in Artillery Row, the street which bounds the cemetery on the West, and is himself intramurally buried at St Gile's within The Barbican, about a kilometer to the South.
