Church History We don't know when this Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded, but we understand it was closed before 1884. This Burial Ground (already labelled as 'Disused') may be seen on the Bristol Town Plan of 1884-5 on the north side of Mitchell Lane. I have not found any documentary references for it, but one possibility is that it was the Burial Ground connected with Counterslip Baptist Chapel formerly in Bath Street, and (after 1878) in nearby Victoria Street. John Latimer, in The Annals of Bristol in the Nineteenth Century (1887), refers to burials in Counterslip Baptist chapel being prohibited in 1854, following the 1853 Act, though one would expect that also to apply to the Mitchell Lane ground. Mitchell Lane is a side street off the west side of Victoria Street which still exists in the present day. Its burial ground - obviously - has been cleared, and the area is now occupied by offices. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery was located at OS grid reference ST5917472609.

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.
