and Bills were carried through parliament for closing graveyards so
situated, and cemeteries in open spaces were instituted.
In 1850 the Board of Health was made a Burial Board for the

graveyards. In 1853 the Act was extended to the provinces, and in
1855 to Scotland.
In addition to the graveyards attached to the various churches there
are, within our boundaries, three disused cemeteries : one is known as

of Trinity street, Islington, aged 70 years: he died on December
4th, 1845.
This ground, which was excepted from the operation of the Act of
1852, by being placed in schedule B., was kept open long after others,
