St Leonard’s in Shoreditch is the burial place of James Burbage and other actors from the Shakespearean period.
It is often known as 'the Actors’ Church' because of the various Tudor and Stuart actors who were buried here. As it is located in Shoreditch, St Leonard’s is very close to both the Theatre and the Curtain playhouse sites.
