[[Baptist]] minister [[John Rippon]]—who was himself buried at the site in 1836—made transcripts of its monumental inscriptions in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, some copied while "laying on his side". In 1803 he issued a prospectus for a six-volume publication on Bunhill Fields, but this never came to fruition. The [[British Library]] now holds 14 manuscript volumes of his transcripts; a further six volumes are held in the [[College of Arms]].<ref>Corporation of London 1991, p. 11.</ref><ref>Ledger-Lomas 2017, pp. 164–165.</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://searcharchives.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/dlDisplay.do?docId=IAMS032-002019895&vid=IAMS_VU2&indx=1&dym=false&dscnt=1&onCampus=false&group=ALL&institution=BL&ct=search&vl(freeText0)=032-002019895 |title=Collections relating to the Dissenters' burial-ground at Bunhill Fields, London, by John Rippon, D.D., F.S.A.: Add MSS 28513–28523 |website=Explore Archives and Manuscripts |publisher=British Library |access-date=17 September 2017}}</ref>
