The burial ground was established by Edward Alleyn as an integral part of the foundation of his College of God's Gift and consecrated September 1, 1616. It is unusual in that it is not and has never been next to a church or a chapel. Burials ended here in 1857. The graves are protected by 18th century railings and gates. Access inside the railings can be arranged via the nearby Dulwich Estate office by calling 020 8299 1000 or emailing [email protected] . There are no visible gravestones or vaults dated before 1720 but several hundred people must have been buried here in the previous 100 years and over 3000 by the time the burial ground closed.
