I'm afraid it did go through, Eve and list, or at least some attempt was made to alter it. I was one of those London office workers and I used to pass through there back in the sixties. It was always a special spot, though I hadn't the slightest notion then that some of my own ancestors were buried there. If only I'd known. These days, you can still pass through and there ARE benches and even a plan of the graves, so you can just about work out where, say, Bunyan and Blake were buried, but you can't see anything properly. Much of the ground is fenced off in what doesn't appear to be a well thought out 'conservation' project and I couldn't even begin to surmise just where my family were laid to rest. Not that I often make it to London anyway, but when I do, I survey it with some regret.

That's good - I remember about 40/45 years ago being told (by the venerable archivist of the Methodists, Rev John Bowmer,then based in London, that an application had been made to turn the ground into a park with seats for the London office workers, which involved moving many of the stones. Usually these things go through so I took it that it had.
