  	according to the gravestone, remains were moved from the Tower of London. He is buried with his wife, her unmarried sister, and her father and mother. The Times, 19 Oct 1844 THE TOWER - (From a Correspondent) - The first disinterment from the Tower burial-ground took place on Saturday last, when the mortal remains of several relatives of Lieutenant-General Dickinson, Royal Artillery, were thence removed to the new churchyard, Lee, Kent. The coffins were conveyed in a hearse, and deposited in a vault previously prepared for their reception. Two relatives of the General, the Rev W Ludlow and Mr R Welbank, superintended the removal, and accompanied the remains. We understand this rude, perhaps cruel, disturbance, has arisen from the alleged necessity of appropriating that which was formerly a burial-ground as the site for a portion of the projected new barracks.
