The Old Quaker cemetery in Kingston-Upon-Thames, was situated on London Road, between what was the Flamingo Brewery, later to become the Three Tuns and now the Kingston Tun, and Kingston Grammar School. It operated from 1664 to 1814, when burials were continued at the site in Eden Street, that latter site being hidden behind walls and laid to lawn. In 1996, lock-up garages were to be removed from London Road and the site built on. Rather than just observe the common courtesies associated with ancient burials, the contractor opted to delay his activities and to fund a ten-week dig, allowing virtually unique archeological information to be gleaned from a non-conformist site.
