St Mary the Virgin, Bathwick – Smallcombe Cemetery – Memorial Inscriptions Bathwick LHS Section D This section is the main part of the original cemetery and contains 647 graves which is about a quarter of all total. It is bounded by a path running from the entrance up to and past the chapel and a path running from the entrance past the lodge parallel to the northern wall. Originally the eastern end of the section had a boundary wall but this was removed when the cemetery was extended eastwards in 1907. A path separates the two eastern rows (Y and Z) from the rest of the section. Two graves have been added at the eastern end in a row designated as ‘OZ’. Some graves in the south-eastern corner that were originally in Section D (in rows A and B) are described in Section F.
