Hi Listers, Looking at the BBC web site, this has just caught my eye: Audio slideshow: Arnos Vale Cemetery http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-18859991 Josephine --

Hi Josephine Worth a look (but of course I'm biased!) ... I wish they'd get the facts right though! The Raja Rammohun Roy died at Beech house, Stapleton .. not Leigh Woods ..... and as far as we know there are around 176,000 burials in about 50,000 graves and about 123,000 cremations took place at Arnos Vale between 1928 -1998 ... ashes continue to be scattered/interred there and a few burials also take place. There are also many 1000's of inscriptions to people buried elsewhere ... but '300,000 'burials' is a bit of an exaggeration.
