Bathwick or Smallcombe Cemetery, the Anglican portion of which is also known as St Mary’s Churchyard, was laid out in two phases, in 1856 and 1861 by the Bathwick Burial Board. The site is isolated, despite its proximity to the city centre and the Non-Conformist chapel stands in the western part of the cemetery, with the Anglican chapel of 1855-56 by Thomas Fuller (qv) standing in the eastern part. The eastern end of the cemetery is bounded by a coped wall with two gateways with tall, stepped piers. The cemetery includes several notable memorials, some of which are listed.
* Architectural: for its unusual and striking design, in which the octagonal plan is enhanced by bold features, such as the tall pyramidal roof, and cusped lancet windows;
* Historical: as an important feature within Smallcombe (formerly Bathwick) Cemetery, built by A S Goodridge, a noted architect from a family of Bath architects and builders;
* Group Value: with the Anglican chapel of 1855-56 by Thomas Fuller (qv) standing in the eastern part of the cemetery, and with a number of listed memorials.
