About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

H.M. Dockyard Church, is the last of several churches erected for the use of the Royal Navy. The first Dockyard Church was opened Jan. 1, 169O. In 1835 another Dockyard Church was built by Rennie and Hoi1 for the use of the Fleet and the Garrison, but only for services. It stands in close proximity to the end of High Street, Blue Town, nearest the bridges. No banns were ever read nor marriages solemnized in the Dockyard chapel.

On Nov. 26, 1881 the Dockyard Church was badly burned with the loss of two lives. On Jan. 7, 1882 an estimate of GBP4,7OO was given to repair it. The Church remained in that condition for some time because of rumors of Dockyard closure; however, by March, 1882 the church was completely restored, services in the meantime having been conducted in the Dockyard Sail Loft.

The property was decommissioned as a church and is now under restoration by the Spitalfields Historic Buildings Trust
