Bridgwater cemeteries

[chris2024]

If you do a google search on  'Wembdon Road Cemetery'. You will find that there has been a project which has detailed all readable inscriptions on gravestones and has photos of virtually every grave. There is also a mapping facility. Not every grave is photographed as I know of a cousins grave which is not featured, yet I know is there. It is great if you live along way away as you can see the headstones without visiting.
The Cemetery started in 1851 but closed back in the 1970-1980 period. Cant remember which year exactly as I was still a kid then.
hi, there used to be 2 chapels there, a Victorian hexegon shaped one which disappeared many  years ago,  and a 2nd chapel which fell into ruin, and no longer there

If you position your cursor below the bottom [/quote] mark, you can add your text. It makes it very difficult for others to see if you are only re-quoting a previous post or trying to add something new to the thread. (I have highlighted your text addition in bold).

Then click on the button ‘Preview’ and scroll up to read what you have composed as a reply. If everything is OK, scroll back down and click ‘Post’.

Good luck!

Preview is not a spell-checker!

hi, don't know if this helps, I too am trying to find this info and had some help from local undertakers H Biffen & Sons.. they have a copy of names, surnames only, of the old Wembden Road Cemetery..

Other wise I think it means a trip to Records Office in Taunton. try   www.somerset.gov for address, sorry I have not got it handy.

will come back here if I find anything new for you.

regards Denise
