About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

St Leonard's Priory was a Benedictine nunnery in what is now east London, which gave its name to Bromley-St Leonards (better known as Bromley-by-Bow.) It was first recorded in 1122 and referred to by Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the priory was destroyed.

The old priory chancel was rebuilt in 1843 as the parish church of St Mary with St Leonard. The church was bombed out in WW2 and obliterated by the building of the Blackwall Tunnel approach road. All that remains is part of the boundary wall and the How Memorial Gateway erected in 1894, which forms the entrance to what remains of the churchyard.
