A component of London’s pestilential past, Holy Trinity Churchyard in East Smithfield was a graveyard for victims of London’s first great plague. The churchyard was east of Little Tower Hill, south of Hog Lane (East Smithfield) and north of St. Katherine’s Hospital. As the number of plague victims increased, these graveyards ran out of space and Holy Trinity Priory was used to ensure that the dead were buried in holy ground.
Stow writes that, in 1348, one Toft of ground neare vnto Eastsmithfield [later enclosed by a stone wall], for the burial
of them that died, with condition that it might be called the Church yard of the holy Trinitie
(Stow). A year later, the Abbey of St. Mary Graces was founded and built at
the site of the graveyard (Harben).
