| Hardy Tree |
| The Hardy Tree in Old St Pancras Churchyard is named after the novelist Thomas Hardy. Before achieving fame as an author he studied architecture in London from 1862-67. One of his jobs was to exhume bodies from the original churchyard to make way for the new London to Midlands railway line, and to rebury them here under this ash tree. |
| St Pancras Churchyard is one of the oldest Christian sites in Europe, dating back to 600 AD. Buried here were architect Sir John Soane (see Soane Mausoleum) and thief-taker Jonathan Wild, who was exhumed two days later and hung in a gibbet. |
