Bath Abbey Cemetery – Fine-brick texture manufacturer – Corrugation texture by jekky
History
The eccentric William Beckford was originally buried here, but moved once its former retreat of Lansdown Tower was converted into Lansdown Cemetery (which was sold after his death and when it appeared that the buyer wanted to turn it into a pub and pleasure garden, Beckford daughter bought it back and presented it to the Rector of Walcot as a cemetery.) he best monuments are slightly neo-Grecian with canopied tops, dating from the 1840s. Note that to S. M. Hinds d.1847 signed Reeves, the Bath firm of Monumental masons, that flourished from c.1778 to 1860.1]
The mortuary chapel along with 37 monuments in the cemetery are Grade II listed, and one monument surpasses the chapel in importance to be listed as Grade II*. An general trend is that the most elaborate monuments belong to individuals formerly residing at the most exclusive addresses. An interesting trend seems that clerics get Gothic Revival style style and military men typically get Greek Revival style monuments.
Mortuary Chapel
The three-bay double-height chapel was built in 1844 to designs by George Phillips Manners in the Norman Revival architectural style by with a promient west tower over an three-sided open porch / porte cochere. The chapel is built above a crypt and was planned to be flanked by open cloister wings containing a columbarium and loculi. Ever since the cemetery closure, the chapel has also been closed and in a deteriorating condition. It was listed Grade II historic building on 05 August 1975. The memorials in the cemetery were also proposed for listing but this has not happened yet. It remains owned by Bath Abbey, although a lease or sale was considered to Bath Orthodox church, which never materialized.
