Plaque

Removal of graveyard remains - All Saints Poplar

Inscription

In Memoriam
This plaque is in memory of the 1,356 paupers, cholera victims and foreign sailors, whose remains were removed under arrangements made in 2010 to facilitate the re-development of Newby Place Health and Wellbeing Centre. The graveyard from which the remains originated was part of the All Saints Church which was designed by architect Charles Hollis and built from granite and Portland stone by the engineer Thomas Morris between 1822-23.

The site on which this plaque stands had evolved from graveyard to playground by 1874, was used for public recreation in 1906 and incorporated an air raid shelter during the blitz of 1940-44. The remains were laid to rest at Islington Cemetery with the removal and re-internment undertaken with the greatest care and consideration.
May they Rest in Peace

We've not seen wet slate plaques look so bad before. Perhaps this is some slate-imitation, which can't cope with rain.
