Read More	Opened 1861 now closed Approx. burials - 24,724 Access to the cemetery is by a gate on the Lower Bristol Road adjoining the lodge. It is possible to drive into the cemetery. A notice board at the entrance gives the opening hours. The cemetery opened as Lyncombe & Widcombe's fourth graveyard and the second graveyard for St. James. Instead of being solely an Anglican cemetery it has Anglican and nonconformist chapels and areas and it was administered by a burial board. It is divided into sections labelled A to Z with A starting by the gate and Z by the railway line to the south. Each 'section' comprises 7 rows labelled A to G. The numbering of the plots within each row start at 1 on the eastern side of cemetery. The cemetery is divided into consecrated and unconsecrated parts. In general terms, the plots 1 to about 30 in each row are consecrated and 31 to about 60 unconsecrated. There are exceptions to this general scheme; all plots in sections A to D and T to Z are considered to be consecrated. The graves are aligned in a general east-west orientation. Many are common graves and even some family graves with memorials use plots previously used for burials. High-explosive bombs fell on the north-western part of the cemetery in1942 and destroyed monuments in that area. Only about 19% of burials have a corresponding memorial. As with most Bath burial grounds, the graves at this cemetery were mapped by P. J. Bendall and indexed for the comprehensive Bath Burial Index, available from the Council via Bath Record Office. The majority of the surviving monumental inscriptions have been transcribed, and graves with an inscription photographed. These are available online, at no charge, from Bath Record Office's web site.
