Britain's What's On Event Guide
Bath Jewish Burial Ground
Heritage Open Day: Visit this beautiful cemetery, resting place of Bath's Jewish community in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Experience its peaceful atmosphere, and learn about the lives of the people buried here who came to this country from so many places. In 1812, four men from the Jewish community in Bath leased this piece of land with a small cottage, on the edge of a stone quarry in Combe Down, Bath. The first burial, Sarah Moses, was in 1812. The burial ground was later extended, and a small adjoining strip of land was acquired in the mid-19th century. The cemetery continued in use until the early 1920s (when the community was so small in number, the site was no longer used), but research indicates that there were some later burials.
