ARNOS VALE CEMETERY BRISTOL WITH WAR MEMORIAL

Join me as we take a look around this beautiful cemetery with overgrown, forgotten graves. Also, we take a look inside a crypt. Also, in the crypt was a Funeral Bier which used to be used to carry coffins or caskets around the cemetery. Music by:- Youtube Creator Studio #arnosvalecemetery #realurbex #graveyard The cemetery was designed by Charles Underwood in the style of a Greek Necropolis. Within a few years of its opening in 1837 it became the most fashionable place to be buried in Bristol.[8] During the 20th century the cemetery fell into disrepair, and local groups began campaigning for its restoration. In 1987 the owner disclosed plans to exhume the bodies and develop the site for housing. Early in the 21st century following a public campaign the site was subject to a compulsory purchase order by Bristol City Council.[8] In 2003 it was featured on the BBC programme Restoration. The cemetery was a South West region runner-up and has since received a £4.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant.[9] The cemetery is undergoing restoration, however the Mortuary Chapel,[10] Entrance Lodges and Gates[11] and Nonconformist Mortuary Chapel[12] remain on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register.
