Read More	The numerous laws against Catholics included one which prevented them owning or inheriting property and banning leasing property for a period greater than 31 years. As a result post-Reformation burials of Catholics in Bath occurred in Anglican cemeteries until the establishment of the church in Old Orchard Street in 1809.In the period 1809-1856 burials occurred in the crypt of the church in Old Orchard Street. This crypt had been created when the building had been transformed from its previous use as the Theatre Royal (until 1805) by putting a floor in place of the pit. The burial registers indicate the location of graves by reference to the arches. When St John the Evangelist, South Parade was opened the building was sold and became (and remains) the Mason’s Hall. It is reported that most of the remains were reburied at Perrymead Cemetery but the crypt still contains a small number of memorials. However the registers note only a few individuals who were reburied. In the records, the graves are indicated by ‘J.area.plot’.
