This survey, and fascinating history, of the public green spaces of
London was published in 1898. Its author, John J. Sexby, the Chief
Officer of Parks of the London County Council, is described as a
lieutenant-colonel and a professional associate of the Surveyors'
Institution, from which it can be deduced that he probably worked
as a surveyor in the army. His skills as a horticulturalist and
garden designer cannot be doubted, and he left his mark on many of
the municipal parks and gardens about which he writes with such
enthusiasm. Sexby focuses on the municipal parks (those maintained
by local authorities) rather than the nationally managed parks in
central London. He describes large open spaces such as Hampstead
Heath as well as small, disused churchyards like that of St
Dunstan's in Stepney, providing details of their former owners and
use as well as their present condition.
