===Burial ground===
As a result of new construction in the Fort in the 1880s, the ‘old’ burial ground is no longer in existence, and some of the headstones were moved and are now mounted on the walls at South Park Cemetery. <ref>Evers, Maureen [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2009-11/1258770329 Kolkata research] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 21 November 2009.

These burial grounds are different burial grounds to those at Bhowanipore Cemetery, the old (separate) part of which is known as the Military Burial Ground.
