Disused and now unnoticed
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 24 Jun 2021
This small plot of land on St James Street is a former graveyard. It was established as a new ground for the nearby St James church and opened in around 1802 on what used to be the gardens of the old Mangotsfield Workhouse, but was disused by the later nineteenth century and as now largely unrecogniseable. Only a few headstones remain to mark it as a place of rest. Oddly, it has not been reused or built on for well over a century.
