As a result, the site would provide a total of 7,000 burial plots which would provide enough burial plots for the next 58 years.
There are a total of four burial grounds in and around the church, two of which are burials for priests.
Hunt now has a total of 65,000 burial records.
A total of 92 burial locations including graves and trenches were discovered at this site, each containing 5 184 individuals.
Samples for microbiological examination were collected from a total of 155 burial sites (A, n = 45; B, n = 20; C, n = 30; D, n = 35; E, n = 25) between summer 2013 and spring 2014.
In addition to calculating smallpox burials as a proportion of all burials (to control for changes in burial totals), and comparing raw smallpox totals with those adjusted for missing causes and ages (which indicated little bias in the omission of cause and age), we also compared St Martin's with the parish of Stepney, where possible.
Wheeler's excavations on the cemetery in the eastern gateway revealed 52 burials, but only part of the cemetery was investigated, so the total number of burials is likely to be at least double this figure.
With few exceptions, only those burials that have reached the surface have been mapped and/or excavated thus far, and the total number of burials will very likely exceed 200 when the site complex is fully explored and excavated.
Where possible, totals of smallpox burials and burials by age have been corrected for missing ages and causes, but such corrections had little effect on the conclusions, given the lack of bias in these omissions.
The total number of burials is estimated at over 500, most of which have been excavated.
