Bunhill Fields, north of London, subject of a guide published by Tentmaker Publications, is the burial place of a great many notables in church history, including:
John Owen
John Bunyan
William Blake
Daniel Defoe
John Gill
George Fox
Isaac Watts
and members of Oliver Cromwell's family
The place was known as 'the cemetery of Puritan England'. John Milton lived and wrote Paradise Lost nearby.

Speaking of Milton: I've heard that the Morgan Library and Museum in New York (mid-town Manhattan) possesses the sole surviving manuscript of
Paradise Lost.
Are there any Puritan Board folks in NYC who could scurry over there, check it out (maybe get a photo of a couple of pages on their cell phone cam to post here)? That'd be great!
(Yeah, like they'd let anyone get anywhere near the actual manuscript...)
