BUNHILL FIELDS _Burial ground_, a large piece of ground near Upper Moorfields. Maitland says it was formerly called Bonhill, or Goodhill. It was set apart, consecrated and walled at the expence of the city, in 1665, the dreadful year of pestilence, as a common cemetery for the interment of such corps as could not have room in their parochial burial grounds: but it not being used on this occasion, Mr. Tindal took a lease of it, and converted into a burial ground for the use of the dissenters. There are a great number of raised monuments with vaults underneath belonging to particular families, and a multitude of gravestones with inscriptions. The price of opening the ground, or of interment, is 15_s._ BUNHILL FIELDS _School_, was erected by the company of Haberdashers, in the year 1673, pursuant to the gift of Mr. Throgmorton, who endowed it with 80_l._ _per annum_, for the education of thirty poor boys of the parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate.

BURLINGTON _gardens_, a street by Bond street; took its name from its being built on the spot, which was formerly the Earl of Burlington’s garden. BURLINGTON HOUSE, in Piccadilly. The front of this house, which is of stone, is remarkable for the beauty of the design and workmanship. The print representing the body of the house and a part of the wings, was all that could be taken into the visual angle. The circular colonade of the Doric order which joins the wings, is very noble and striking. The house is hardly grand enough for the colonade, and seems to want something in the center to make the entrance more conspicuous. The house is of an older date than the front, which was built by the late Earl of Burlington. The rooms within are in a fine taste, and the stair-case is painted by Seb. Ricci, with great spirit and freedom. BURLINGTON _mews_, Great Swallow street. BURLINGTON _street_, Great Swallow street. _The Earl of_ BURLINGTON’S seat at Chiswick. See the article CHISWICK.
