Bath Abbey Cemetery
Corner of Ralph Allen Drive and Perrymead
The Abbey Cemetery is located in a triangle of land between Ralph Allen Drive and Perrymead. It opened in 1844 as a private Anglican cemetery. It was financed by William John Brodrick (7th Viscount Midleton) who was rector of Bath Abbey in the period 1839-1854. He had purchased the land from the Catholic Bishop Baines – the Catholic Cemetery is adjacent. It was designed in 1843 by John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843) a Scottish landscaper who had landscaped various farms and property, set up a school for training on farming and had become a city planner, in particular concerning open spaces. He produced designs for two other cemeteries: Histon Road, Cambridge and Southampton Cemetery (in 1842–3). The cemetery’s chapel was designed by George Phillips Manners (1786-1866) of Bath who was the Bath City Architect during the period 1823-1862. When opened, further burials within Bath Abbey were stopped and some inscriptions at Bath Abbey Cemetery refer to spouses being buried in the Abbey.
The site covers 2ha (5 acres), and overlooks the town with a view of the Abbey’s tower and, beyond that, Lansdown. Over its approximately 225m length, the elevation drops by 20m going from south to north. The cemetery is laid out along a major axis from the chapel of rest at the summit to the lower end of the cemetery in an almost south to north alignment with the main path running along this. (The axis is about 20 degrees west of North.) The major axis is crossed by a wide curving path.

George III (George William Frederick; 4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until his death in 1820. The Acts of Union 1800 unified Great Britain and Ireland into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with George as its king. He was concurrently Duke and Prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire before becoming King of Hanover on 12 October 1814. He was a monarch of the House of Hanover, who, unlike his two predecessors, was born in Great Britain, spoke English as his first language,[1] and never visited Hanover.[2]
Samplers date back to the 15th century and were used as a way of practising the needlework necessary to decorate items such as clothing, tapestries, fire-screens and bed linens in the home.
A needlework sampler is essentially a piece of embroidery or cross-stitching that demonstrates a person’s needlework skill. They often include the alphabet, figures, motifs, decorative borders or sometimes text. The word ‘sampler’ derives from the Latin exemplum, which means ‘example’. Rarer examples have the name and year
