Summary

[edit]
Description

Acquired in 1713 as a burial ground for St George's Bloomsbury and St George the Martyr, when it was still in open country; opened in 1714, it was one of the first London burial grounds detached from a parish church. Made into a garden in the 1880s following a campaign, in which Octavia Hill was involved, to preserve it as an open space for the poorer inhabitants of the area. The gardens as a whole are Grade II* listed: <a href="https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000832" rel="nofollow">www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/10...</a> .

The obelisk dates from 1729 according to <a href="http://www.friendsofstgeorgesgardens.org.uk/the-gardens" rel="nofollow">www.friendsofstgeorgesgardens.org.uk/the-gardens</a> ; listing (Grade II): <a href="https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1378727" rel="nofollow">www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/13...</a> .
