Plaque giving history of Lee Street Burial Ground. It reads: "LEE STREET BURIAL GROUND In 1846 six members of the Strict and Particular Baptists built a chapel at the southern end of this site. The remainder of the site was used as a burial ground for worshippers at the chapel and commenced with the burial of Emma Pollard on 6 June 1852. The last burial was that of Jessie Nicol Jones on 14 November 1969. In November 1994 Reigate and Banstead Borough Council acquired the site and designated it as a garden of remembrance for those buried here to enable their decendants (sic), relatives and friends to sit and remember them."
