I'm interested in finding the location of the consecrated burial grounds. Where was it in relation to the main building or main entrance?

The consecrated ground was to the north of the hospital grounds on the western side, and just inside the wall running along Friern Barnet Road

The burial ground is located opposite Glenthorne Road, where it meets Friern Barnet Road. It is now very overgrown and nearly impossible to visit
