The waymark coordinates are for the entrance to the Garden of Rest, which is the old churchyard cemetery at St. Marylebone Parish Church.
Three plaques in a line along the western wall of the Garden of Rest, affixed next to each other. Each contains some of the history of the church and those who are buried here.
This marker is the first of the three, and reads as follows:
"THE OLD CHURCH GARDEN
Commemorates the site of the old parish church of
St Mary le Bone
Built 1400 * Rebuilt 1741 * Demolished 1949
The sunken portion of the garden marks the original foundations of the church dedicated to St Mary. The River Tyburn flowed nearby and thus the village took its name of St. Mary le Bourne.
This historic ground was laid out as a Garden of Rest in the festival year of 1941."
