Grosvenor Square was once the burial ground of All Saints Church. The church was demolished after World War II and this pleasant garden remains. The sign on the stone ahead tells us that it was renovated in 1995 by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) “for the benefit of both its students and the general public”. The sign also reminds us that the park is still regarded as consecrated ground. The area around here is still known as “All Saints”, even though the church has been gone a long time.
