Title: St John Vaults reference in burial
Post by: akissling on Friday 30 May 25 16:19 BST (UK)
I found the reference below and am wondering if St John's Vaults is an actual location or if it just refers to where Mary was buried (it is in the abode column just above Waterloo Road)?

Mary   Lambert d age 26 buried December 1853 St John the Evangelist, Waterloo
Residence   St John's Vaults, Waterloo Road
Residence county   Surrey

Seems  the burial is Saint John The Evangelist -   London, England, Church of England Deaths and Burials, 1813-2003

Mary Lambert - 1827 - 1853  (aged 26 years)
Burial Date   11 Dec 1853
Burial Place   Saint John the Evangelist, Lambeth: Waterloo Road, Lambeth, Lambeth
Register Type   Parish Register.

St John the Evangelist, commonly known as St John's Waterloo, is a Grade II listed church located on Waterloo Road. The church has historic vaults, including the "Old Crypt" which is an atmospheric, brick-vaulted space. The church is known for its diverse and inclusive congregation and is a well-known music venue and event space. It has undergone recent renovations and restoration, including the transformation of the crypt into usable spaces for events and meetings.
