Union Chapel, Combe Down was opened in 1815. It was founded by members of two churches in Bath; Somerset Street Baptist Church and Argyle Street Congregational Church (then called ‘Independent’), who wanted to establish a place of worship on Combe Down. The graveyard was in front and on the western side of the chapel with that part of the graveyard on the western side having been built on. There are just a dozen or so memorials in front of the chapel. The first burial was in 1838, there were 212 burials with the last one in 1916.
