An Unknown Girl’s Grave

In 1995, builders were clearing the site for the construction of 30 St Mary Axe – these days better known as the Gherkin. An archaeological investigation unearthed the grave of a teenage girl, estimated to be between 13 and 17 years old. Carbon dating and pottery finds dated her death to between 350 and 400 C.E.. Whether she was Roman, Briton, or from elsewhere in the Empire is unknown.

Whilst construction of the skyscraper continued, the girl’s remains were removed to the Museum of London. When the Gherkin was finished in 2004, the developers requested that the girl be reburied at the site. In 2007, she was given a service at a nearby church, followed by a procession accompanied by an approximation of Roman music, and laid to rest (again).

Her new grave can be seen (somewhat appropriately) on Bury Street; the marble benches that are often occupied by bankers on lunch (or at after-work drinks) bear a small memorial. The inscription reads, in both English and Latin: “To the spirits of the dead, the unknown young girl from Roman London lies buried here.”

I know this is a Petri Dish fan page but I finally got a pic of my very elusive ribbon snake, Gherkin, and I needed everyone to see her
