    • St George's Fields is a 70s housing development on the site of the burial ground of St George Hanover Square
    • St George's Fields is a posh residential area built on burial grounds of St. George's Church. It is quite a story how a graveyard which had had 94,000 burials, without removal of remains, had the tombstones removed, covered over and became a park-like residential area! Since Martin died in 1786 and cemetery opened in 1833, he hopefully missed this bit of "modernization".
