    The Co'age: History and Occupants Descripon The co'age is situated to the right of the entrance gates, in the south west corner of the Jewish Burial Ground, forming part of the boundary with Greendown Place. It is a single storey, one room rectangular structure approximately 3.7m by 2.9m constructed of ooliDc limestone walls and a pitched roof covered with panDles. The co'age is entered through a plank door on the north gable end and there is a two/two sash window on the western wall fronDng Greendown Place. Internally, a plain stone surround to the fireplace remains on the eastern wall, to the right of a blocked up doorway/window. It is structurally stable but a shell. The footprint of the co'age has changed over the last two hundred years as evidence by historic maps (see below). Date On 8th April 1812, a thousand year lease on a narrow strip of “ground and demise” that was part of an adjacent Quarry, was agreed between a local Quarry owner and four members of the Bath Jewish community. The lease is preserved in the Bath Record Office and has been examined and transcribed by the Friends of the Burial Ground. It contains several references to the “land and demise”. This is evidence the co'age predates the Burial Ground and it is possible that the “de- mise” was already rented to a Quarryman. Func8on Religious FuncDon It has been assumed that the co'age had a Jewish religious funcDon.
