New Churchyard
The New Churchyard, or Bethlam burial ground, was a burial ground in London created to accommodate the great number of new interments required as the city hugely increased in size during the 16th and 17th centuries.
It was rediscovered in the 19th century during the development of Liverpool Street and Broad Street stations and, subsequently, during the construction of the Crossrail railway project, it became the object of a major archaeological "dig" and analysis.
==History==
In 16th century London, parish cemeteries were full. As an alternative, in 1569 the vegetable plot at the Royal Bethlem Hospital was walled and opened as a burial ground, staying in use until at least 1738.
It's estimated that around 10,000 peeople were buried on the site.
