This was first used about 1740, and, after being closed for burials, it was let as a carter's yard and was full of sheds and vans. Through the kindness of the Governors, it fell into the hands of the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association, and it is now a children's recreation ground maintained by St. Luke's Vestry.
