East Smithfield

This is a section of the 1520 map of London. The red box indicates where the cemetery is located. To the east of The Tower, above East Smithfield street, and next to St. Mary Graces, is where the cemetery was built. However, in 1520 it was no longer in use, and thus was not labeled on this map.
