St Mary the Virgin churchyardThomas Fuller (1823–1898) was employed as the architect with George Mann as the builder of the Anglican Mortuary Chapel. It was Grade II listed 2008.[4][5] The corner stone of the Chapel was laid on 9 May 1855 and the consecrated ground opened for burials in 1856. The consecration of the land by the Bishop of Bath and Wells took place on 15 Feb 1856 and this was reported in the Bath & Cheltenham Gazette of 20 February 1856.[6] In 1907 the original St Mary the Virgin Churchyard was extended by a further six sections. The Mortuary Chapel was made redundant in 1992 and was sold by the Church authorities at auction in 2007 for £70,000.[7][8] It has lain derelict since that time. The churchyard contains four Commonwealth war graves of the First World War:[9]
Smallcombe Vale CemeteryThe Smallcombe Vale cemetery opened in 1861 or 1862 and was administered by the Bathwick Burial Board. The non-conformist Smallcombe Vale Chapel was designed by Alfred S Goodridge. It was Grade II listed in 2011.[10][11] Notable burials and monumentsSmallcombe Cemetery contains the graves of a number of notable people, including:
Other servicemen include Malby Edward Crofton, Captain and Adjutant, 2/4th Regiment who fought in the Zulu Wars. The Hancock memorial which was erected around 1863, Rockshute Tomb of 1873, Pocock headstone from 1924 and an unknown memorial from around 1880 have been designated as listed buildings.[13][14][15][16] A full list of burials was prepared by Philip Bendall and is housed in the Bath Record Office.[17] The Sydney Buildings History Group with the Bathwick History Society have extracted names of residents of Sydney Buildings.[3] It has identified approximately 3,000 plots spread over 16 sections: A to K, with I not being allocated, in the St Mary the Virgin cemetery and 5 sections, V to Z, in Smallcombe Vale. Sections V, W and Z being the nonconformist plots in Smallcombe Vale, divided from the adjacent sections by a line of stones. Maintenance and restorationBath and North East Somerset Council maintains the grounds. The maintenance regime is to cut the churchyard fortnightly (weather permitting). All pruning, hedge cutting, etc., is carried out as winter works after the grass cutting season has ended. The council's arboricultural office keeps the trees under a 3 yearly review and all major tree works are carried out by the council's tree specialists. The Bereavement Services department carries out a 5-year rolling programme of memorial testing to ensure that memorials are preserved as well as possible and are safe. Memorials in danger of collapse are laid down.[1] The Friends of St Mary's Churchyards have been working with the city council to support efforts to maintain the grounds to maintain biodiversity and to improve the general environment. The Smallcombe Garden Cemetery Project was launched by the Friends to prepare a bid for Heritage Lottery Funds to assist with the cost of preservation of Smallcombe Cemetery and to establish a longer term public amenity role for the 'closed' cemetery, which is compatible with, and respects, its primary function of being a peaceful sanctuary for the deceased. The £75,000 project was completed in 2017 and included a new footpath which provides a link to National Trust land and the popular Bath Skyline trail.[18] Flora and faunaIn common with many old cemeteries and graveyards, Smallcombe has a large community of flora and fauna within its environs.[19] The Bath Natural History Society conducted a survey in 2013 and identified a significant number of species.[20][21] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/births-marriages-and-deaths/burials-and-cremations/cemeteries/bathwick-st-marys|title=Bathwick St Marys|publisher=Bath and North East Somerset|accessdate=5 September 2014}} {{coord|51.3758|-2.3431|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^Information from the United Kingdom Land Registry, Title Number: AV23331. 3. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.sydneybuildingshistory.org.uk/cemetery/cemetery.html#areaz|title=The Smallcombe Cemetery Inscriptions|publisher=Sydney Buildings History Group|accessdate=5 September 2014}} 4. ^{{NHLE|desc=Anglican Cemetery Chapel, St May's Churchyard, Bathwick Cemetery Road|num=1392521|accessdate=5 September 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-504213-anglican-cemetery-chapel-st-mary-s-churc|publisher=British Listed Buildings|title=Anglican Cemetery Chapel, St Mary's Churchyard, Bath|accessdate=5 September 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.widcombeassociation.org.uk/Localhistorysociety/HN06%20Smallcombe%20cemeteries.pdf |format=PDF|title=Smallcombe Cemeteries|publisher=Widcombe & Lyncombe Local History Society|accessdate=5 September 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.builtheritagenews.ca/newsletter.cfm?id=2 |title=Issue No. 102.
