Hidden away behind St. Pancras railway station is what is believed to be one of the oldest sites of Christian worship in England. There has been a church on the site since at least around the year 314. The current church is mostly a 19th-century structure, but it contains some traces of an older Norman structure. Surrounding the church is a cemetery, today transformed into a public park that contains a memorial to philosopher and "mother of feminism" Mary Wollstonecraft, who was originally buried there before her remains were moved to Bournemouth. This is where her daughter Mary, the author of Frankenstein, first declared her love for her future husband, Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
