St Christopher Le Stocks - Re-interment of Human Remains

Re-interment of Human Remains

The remains of those interred in the church and churchyard of St Christopher's were removed during development of the Bank of England in 1867 to Nunhead Cemetery in South East London. When the bank underwent wholesale redevelopment in the 1930s, further relocations of interred remains were made to Nunhead in 1933.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or remains:

    It is human agitation, with all the vulgarity of needs small and great, with its flagrant disgust for the police who repress it, it is the agitation of all men ... that alone determines revolutionary mental forms, in opposition to bourgeois mental forms.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
