In the 1850s there was increasing pressure to regulate cemeteries better by restricting the number of bodies per grave and defining the separation between graves. The land was donated by the Duke of Cleveland, owner of the Bathwick estate, but the preparation of the site required removal of numerous trees from the Smallcombe Wood. The design of the associated mortuary chapel was awarded to Thomas Fuller,son of a Bath mayor, and the builder was George Mann. The corner stone of the chapel was laid on 9 May 1855, using a silver trowel in accordance with the custom at that time, coins being place under the stone. The dedication of the mortuary chapel was reported in the Bath Chronicle of 10 May 1855.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 Feb 1856.
