Some vaults, such as those under the Guildhall Chapel, the Rolls Chapel,
and the notorious Elton Chapel, Clements Lane, have disappeared with the
buildings; and it must be remembered that the City churches that have
lost their churchyards have vaults underneath them, and so have other
buildings, such as the Charterhouse Chapel and cloisters, the
burial-ground there being of much later date, and detached from the
chapel.

APPENDIX D.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN FOR LAYING OUT AND THROWING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC A
DISUSED CHURCHYARD OR BURIAL-GROUND, AND FOR ITS MAINTENANCE BY THE
LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL, OR THE LOCAL AUTHORITY. (REPRINTED FROM THE
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE METROPOLITAN PUBLIC GARDENS ASSOCIATION, 83,
LANCASTER GATE, W.)
1. Decide how much assistance is to be sought from the London County
Council, or the Local Authority, that is the Vestry or District Board,
if in London, or the Urban or Rural Sanitary Authority, if in the
provinces, in the carrying out of the scheme. Thus, in approaching any
of these bodies, it should be considered—
(_a_) Whether they are to be asked to lay out the ground, or only to
take it over for maintenance after it has been laid out by others,
_e.g._, the Association.
(_b_) Whether they may require, or can have the freehold, or only a
limited interest, such as a lease of the ground.
