St. Paul’s Charnel House
St. Paul’s Charnel House was located on the north side of St. Paul’s Churchyard (Stow 1633, sig. 2H4v). It was founded in 1282
out of rents of shops built without the wall of the churchyardand pulled down in 1549 (Harben). A chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary was built over the former site of the charnel house.
St. Paul’s Charnel House was eventually emptied into what became
Bone Hillor Bunhill at the end of the seventeenth century.
