Located to the north of Pentonville Road, near Penton Rise, the park was formerly the churchyard of St. James's Church. Joseph Grimaldi (1778 – 1837) was an English actor, comedian and dancer, who became the most popular English entertainer of the Regency era. His stage debut was at the nearby Sadlers Wells Theatre in 1780. For more info, see the Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Grimaldi . Grimaldi is buried in the park - see Image
