As a Yank tourist at St. Martin in the Fields years ago, I was struck by two things (tourist at the church, not a concert). It may have once been in the fields, but London has long grown up around it. And in the main vestibule, parishioners are buried in the floor with their flat gravestones part and parcel of it.
