Tombstone Tuesday ~ The burial ground at St. Mary's church, Rotherhithe, London, England

I visited the burial ground of St. Mary the Virgin church in Rotherhithe, London, as part of the Historic Sites tour of the General Society of Mayflower descendants.  Captain Christopher Jones, master of the Mayflower, was buried here in 1622, but has no tombstone since it was lost when the church was rebuilt in 1715.  Three of the four owners of the Mayflower are buried here, including Jones.  I thought I would show you the cemetery instead of just one particular grave stone today.
