<br/>The monument is a reminder of the gardens' previous role, between 1713 and 1855, as a burial ground, before they became a public park in Victorian times. A school and terrace of houses at the eastern end were destroyed in the blitz, replaced by the modern buildings seen here.

<br/>This was one of the first burial grounds located away from a church; it was originally established in 1713 to serve two parishes: St George the Martyr, Queen Square and St George, Bloomsbury. It was closed in 1855 but later reopened as a public park, retaining the mature London plane trees and larger monuments.
