Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1888, and we understand it is still open. Ridgeway Park Cemetery is under the control of Bristol City Council, and administered from Canford Cemetery and Crematorium Office, Canford Lane, Westbury on Trym, Bristol. According to the Bristol & Avon Family History Society website, it was set up by a private company in 1888. At the time of compilation of Kelly's Directory of Bristol of 1902, the Ridgeway Park Cemetery Co. Limited (James Cozens, sec), was listed with an address of Carlton Chambers, Baldwin street. According to BAFHS, the company was wound up in 1949 and by 1954, the City Corporation (as it was then) was obliged to take it over due to its deterioration. From this time, burials have only taken place in existing graves. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
