Church History We don't know when this Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded, but we understand it was closed before 1854. This former Burial Ground may be seen on Ashmead's Maps of Bristol of 1855 as a narrow plot on the south side of West Street, to the west of Waterloo Street. It was either Francis's or Williams's burial ground - both recorded in John Latimer's Annals of Bristol in the Nineteenth Century (1887) in West Street, along with several other burial grounds in Bristol which were required to be closed by Lord Palmerston's Act of 1853. So far I have been unable to determine which was which. In 1850, when deploring on the "filthy conditions of the suburbs" Latimer quotes Mr. Clark, of the Board of Health, who reported there were sixty-one places of burial in the city, of which thirty-seven belonged to the Established Church, and five to private persons (undertakers); and further, that "a correspondent of the Bristol Times stated (April 30, 1853), that from "two to three dozen" bodies were buried every Sunday in each of two private burial grounds, belonging to persons named Francis and Wms". So evidently, they were undertakers. Later Maps of the 1880s show the area occupied by the Burial Ground had become a Brass Foundry. 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 ST5992673198. You can see this on various mapping systems.

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.
