St Paul’s Churchyard


The remains of many English, Irish and French citizens are buried here.

Among the well-known is George Frederick Cook, the English actor whose ghost is rumored to roam the grounds in search of his head, which, it is said, was used in a performance of Hamlet.

ThomasAddis Emmet, an Irish patriot who was exiled, has a place of honor in the graveyard, alongside patriots of the Revolutionary War.

The French are represented by StephenRochefontaine,
a noted military engineer for the Continental army.
