Westminster Abbey Grounds
The Westminster Abbey Grounds are the burial ground attached to the Abbey in Westminster, where the royal and noble dead are laid under high ceremony. They are the graveyard of rank, and a burial here is a mark of standing. The capital's other grounds contrast sharply with them: Saint Olave's Graveyard and Bridegate Churchyard are packed parish yards kept by subscription with too little room, and Saint Bartholomew's Burial Fields lie out in the Ring.
