Site: St Dunstans and All Saints, Stepney Green - gates (3 memorials)

E1, Stepney High Street

The two small plaques can just be seen in our photo, on the inner gate piers: 1844 on the left and 1999 on the right. We like how the idea and the style of the 1844 plaque was copied in 1999. They are identical to those at the South entrance to the churchyard.

From (2025 dead link): "The old parsonage was demolished in 1763 and the ground taken into the churchyard in 1844 when cast iron railings were erected." We can't find the parsonage on any map so we don't know where it was.

These lovely Gothic railings run (clockwise) from here to (at least) partway up the east boundary of the old churchyard.
