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.

From 1752 to 1832, the bodies of those executed for murder at Newgate Prison were taken to Surgeon's Hall in the Old Bailey where they were publicly anatomized. Up to 1834, the bodies of persons executed for crimes other than murder could be returned to relatives for a fee.

After 1836, only murderers were to be hanged at Newgate. Their bodies were buried in quicklime beneath flagstones in a passageway, with their initials scratched on the wall.

When Newgate Prison was demolished in 1904, over ninety skeletons were exhumed and reburied in a plot in the City of London Cemetery.
