The cross appears to be a memorial to a Christie family; one inscription is for Midshipman Edward Christie, aged 19, who died in 1803 at Port Jamaica "of fever contracted on board a slave ship."

St. James' Gardens was situated alongside Euston Station, between Cardington Street and Hampstead Road. They were the graveyard of St James’s Piccadilly, a church designed by Sir Christopher Wren, had run out of space as the population of London expanded. A plot of land was purchased next to the Hampstead Road, then on edge of London. It received its first coffins in 1788. A chapel designed by Thomas Hardwick was built for the new burial ground; St James’s Chapel survives only in drawings and descriptions.

According to HS2 in Campden The first burial recorded took place in 1790 and the burial ground was closed in 1853. It was was consecrated in 1791.

Around 61,000 burials took place at St James's Gardens between 1788 and 1853. In 1887 most of the monuments and tombstones were repositioned around the edges of the ground before it was reopened as St James's Gardens on 17th August 1887.

The land previously occupied by St. James Gardens is required for the expansion of Euston Station to accommodate the new High Speed railway to Birmingham. The gardens closed at the end of June 2017 to enable preparatory work to be undertaken prior to HS2 construction. The burial ground is one of 60 archaeological sites along the route between London and Birmingham which is being explored before the construction of the high-speed rail line.

Brookwood Cemetery is where re-burial will take place.

The Burial Ground

British History Online Quote -

"Whitefield leased enough land in 1755 to provide his chapel with a burial ground. Disappointed in his desire to have the ground consecrated by the Bishop of London he is said to have obtained several cartloads of soil from the churchyard of St. Christopher-le-Stocks, which was being converted into a garden for the Bank of England, and spread them over the surface. From the account of the ground in St. Pancras Open Spaces and Disused Burial Grounds (1902) we learn that the burial ground was closed in 1853, it having been in use from 1756 with an interval of eight years (1823–1831). In the 18th-century considerable trouble occurred through the practice of body-snatching. A serious situation arose when the Rev. J. W. Richardson endeavoured to dispose of part of the ground for building purposes about the year 1856. Owners of graves applied for an injunction against any disturbance of the ground and after many unseemly conflicts between the excavation contractors and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood the Master of the Rolls made a perpetual injunction. The plan of the site in the Middlesex Land Register (see p. 69) shows parts of the ground separated from the rest, evidently with the idea of development, and efforts were still being made to clear the graveyard until in the eighties of the last century the place became again the scene of constant rioting and disorder. Eventually authority was obtained to end the scandal, and the late Sir Julian Goldsmid, Member of Parliament for the division, offered to lay the ground out at his own expense. As a result in February, 1895, it was opened as a public garden by Sir John Hutton, Chairman of the London County Council, to whose care the upkeep of the ground was entrusted. Cansick (fn. 72) gives the inscriptions on four graves, namely, Roger Griffith (178–), Amy Cope (1789), William Price (1835) and George Goddard (1835)".

But while our feelings own one common grief, In losing thee, our faith the hope supplies, That He who gave thy anguished frame relief, Transferred thy sainted spirit to the skies.

● Frederick James Havell (1801–1839) artist, steel engraver in line and mezzotint, and early experimenter in photography
Frederick James Havell came from a family of artists. Originally a steel engraver in line and mezzotint, Havell, his brother William and fellow engraver James Tibbits Willmore experimented with early photography techniques, presenting their Cliché Verre process at the Royal Society in London in 1839. Sadly, later that year he was admitted to and then died at Bethlem Hospital with ‘the occurrence of insanity’. His condition may well have been caused by erethism, also known as mad hatter syndrome, because of prolonged exposure to mercury vapours from photographic experiments.

● Jane Elizabeth Havell nee Nelmes (c.1814–1845) wife of artist Frederick James Havell

Jane Elizabeth Havell, wife of Frederick, died six years later and was buried in the same grave with a picture frame placed face-down on her chest. No picture survived within the glass and wood frame, but this personal object is a poignant reminder of her family connections. It’s possible that further analysis of the picture frame will be able to tell us more about what the frame contained.

His parents were both enslaved persons, and Bill’s prodigious talents would never have been discovered had a British soldier named Hugh Percy not convinced the brute keeping a young Bill captive to release him into his care. Bill’s natural intelligence, wit and tenacity had struck a chord with Percy who brought the 14-year-old Richmond to England with him and set him up as an apprentice cabinet maker in Yorkshire.

● John Charles Felix Rossi (1762–1839), sculptor, and his family

John Charles Felix Rossi, aka Charles Rossi, was recently identified by his beautiful breastplate. One of Rossi’s works can be seen not far from the burial ground, on Euston Road. Rossi modelled the ‘St Pancras caryatids’, (Image left) inspired by female figurines which support the roof of the Erechtheion of the Acropolis of Athens, in 1822. We know from historical records that although he enjoyed considerable success as a sculptor, Rossi suffered from ill-health and financial difficulties in later life. Now that it has been possible to identify his remains, our osteologists may be able to see how these changes in circumstance impacted his skeleton.
