All Saints, Weston
Extent of graveyard
The original graveyard for Weston is around the church of All Saints. From the 1770s until 1877 there were about 60 burials a year with only a few burials after this.
From The Church Rambler – A Series of Articles on the Churches in the Neighbourhood of Bath by Harold Lewis (1876) p351 concerning Weston Church “.. its graveyard is crowded with silent records of those who but two generations ago formed the mingled throng of pleasure-seekers and health-seekers which constituted Bath society ...” The section on Weston (from page 303), as well as giving a history of the church, lists some of the internal and external memorials.
Burials per year
Prior to the opening of the Weston cemetery in Locksbrook (see separate description) some burials occurred in Locksbrook cemetery. “Since the disuse of Weston churchyard as a burial place, the dead of that parish have been interred in the Locksbrook Cemetery, the joint boards kindly charging fees according to the ordinary scale for the funeral of any poor inhabitant.” (Bath Chronicle Thu 27-Sep-1877 p3).
Plaques on the southern wall of the church list the names of those whose ashes have been buried or scattered there from 1978 until 2005.
