Experts explore identities of 5,000 buried in Bedlam psychiatric hospital graveyard
Officials building a huge cross-London underground railway are starting to publish the identity of some of the thousands of people buried 400 to 500 years ago in Bedlam cemetery. After researching parish records, the Crossrail project has released a fascinating database online giving names, occupations and causes of death.
The database of names, identities and occupations of about 5,000 people who were buried there can be read here: http://www.crossrail.co.uk/bedlamregister. It includes details about who lived in London and what they did.
Parish records are being combed by 16 volunteers to reveal who was buried at Bedlam cemetery (Crossrail.co.uk photo)
The graveyard, which dates back to 1569, was found in 2013 during excavations to construct the 13-mile high-speed Crossrail tunnel under Central London.
The database reveals the story of a woman who died November 8, 1577:
a poore woman who dyed in the streat, whose name we know not, neyter from werre she was, but as we suppose she was a mayd and thought of some to be a Welsh woman of one born thereabout. She is layd in the New Churchyard, or plane of buryall [ground] made by Sir Thomas Rowe, late knight and alderman of this City and free of the worshipful company of the tailors.
