It is proposed to make a similar study of the Bimbury area this summer for the Spa Project Team. We have received the grant we applied for from B&NES to publish a booklet on Bimbury. We are now working on our booklet on the Guildhall, in conjunction with Stephen Clews of the Roman Baths Museum. This will concentrate on the Guildhall itself rather than the general area. Elizabeth has been engaged in cataloguing and indexing. A note on her re-arrangement of the Bryant Calendar appears under City News. Under Projects there is a reference to the Survey’s collection of cuttings which we have begun to hand over to the Record Office.

Call no.: PH 050 About SCUA SCUA home Credo digital Scope Inventory Series 1. Slides Series 2. Photographic prints Series 3. Research Notes Admin info Download xml version print version (pdf) Read collection overview A long-time member of the English Department at the University of Albany, Barbara Rotundo was a 1942 graduate in economics at Mount Holyoke College. After the death of her husband, Joseph in 1953, Rotundo became one of the first female faculty members at Union College, and after earning a master's degree in English at Cornell University and a doctorate in American Literature from Syracuse University, she served as an associate professor of English at the University of Albany, where she founded one of the first university writing programs in the United States. Avocationally, she was a stalwart member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, helping to broaden its scope beyond its the Colonial period to include the Victorian era. Her research included the rural cemetery movement, Mount Auburn Cemetery, white bronze (zinc) markers, and ethnic folk gravestones. Her research in these fields was presented on dozens of occasions to annual meetings of AGS, the American Culture Association, and The Pioneer America Society. In 1989, after residing in Schenectady for forty-six years, she retired to Belmont, NH, where she died in December 2004. Consisting primarily of thousands of color slides (most digitized) and related research notebooks, the Rotundo collection is a major visual record of Victorian grave markers in the United States.

  • Paradise Preserved: Registered Cemeteries in Date Order with Notes on Principal Reasons for Designation and Designers and Architects
    Paradise Preserved: Registered cemeteries in date order with notes on principal reasons for designation and designers and architects 1 Summary English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest includes 108 cemeteries. There are many other cemeteries of local historic designed landscape interest. This leaflet provides a list of registered cemeteries in date order and names of designers and architects to help assess significance of other cemeteries. The leaflet is published as a supplement to English Heritage’s Paradise Preserved. An introduction to the assessment, evaluation, conservation and management of historic cemeteries published in 2007 and the updated list of registered cemeteries and register criteria (2011). The registered cemeteries span from 1665 to 1967. The majority of registered cemeteries date from 1883 to 1880 with 42 laid out between 1850-60. This correlates with the burst of cemetery development as a consequence of the Burial Acts and the setting up of the new public burial boards to address health and sanitary issues and lack of burial space in cites and towns. The registered cemeteries reflect the range of notable and local designers appointed by the Boards. There are landscape designers of national repute such as John Claudius Loudon, Joseph Paxton, William Gay, Edward Kemp, Edward White and the Milner firm, the Olmsted Brothers from the USA, and Richard Suddell, a President of the Landscape Institute. There are also notable architects Lucy and Littler and Thomas Denville Barry designed cemeteries in the Merseyside area. J P Pritchett, a York based architect, worked on new cemeteries from Boston to Newcastle, and J S Benest designed several cemetery buildings in Norwich.

Interior west wall Interior east wall Catacombs part of western section Northern end of the catacombs Issue 1 10-1 Bath Abbey Cemetery – Memorial Inscriptions Widcombe Association The watercolours of the layout of the chapel show the general arrangement with two rows of benches on each side of the aisle. The press article on the opening of the cemetery refers to the mechanism, presumably in the aisle for the lowering of coffins from the chapel into the catacombs. There is an external route into the crypt via a stairway to the east of the chapel. There are references to the proposed building of cloisters on either side of the chapel ‘over the catacombs’. The photographs show that the catacombs are wholly within the confines of the chapel and do not extend under the grass around the chapel. The walls have a series of memorial plaques, which are described in this section. There is a single external plaque on the eastern wall. Access to the tower is via an external door which is now inaccessible having been closed by a metal shutter. The windows in the tower suggest that it contains two levels.
