*************

The ornate building sitting on the grass square in front of the entrance is the former parish church of St Mary-at-Lambeth has a tower of 1377 repaired in 1834 and the rest was rebuilt in 1851 using architect P C Hardwick,^[7] though the ancient monuments preserved and its style give it an appearance of antiquity. Among them are tombs of some of the archbishops, including Richard Bancroft, and of the gardeners and plantsmen John Tradescant the elder and his son of the same name, and of Admiral William Bligh. St Mary's was deconsecrated in favour of the surrounding active Anglican parish in 1972 of North Lambeth which was once more heavily populated than today's district of Central London and has three churches as well as a Lambeth Mission helping on the streets and in the homeless hostels,^[8] and a few years later the Museum of Garden History (now the Garden Museum) opened there, because of its Tradescant associations.
