Unknown

We wandered through parts of the City today and spotted an inscription outside 30 Mary St Axe (known as "the gherkin" because of its distinctive shape) that we hadn't noticed before:
Apparently, the grave was discovered during early excavations of the site and, while the remains were kept at the Museum of London during construction, the girl was re-interred here after the building was completed.
