Now a small area of peace and greenery amid the busy traffic in central Bath, this was once a cemetery belonging to St James. New grounds were opened up in 1861 on the Lower Bristol Road, and this became a popular place for people. A memorial was also placed here recently, adding to the reverence. See Image] for more. Oddly the name is uncertain - the locals simply refer to it as Pigeon Park and for obvious reasons!
