Bristol - The Arnos Vale Cemetery Chapel - Built 1839

This chapel is now restored and is in use a an Arts, Music & Film Venue (it has very good acoustic response) it is also a Wedding Venue....

Arnos Vale Cemetery (grid reference ST606716) (also written Arno's Vale Cemetery), in Arnos Vale, Bristol, England, was established in 1837. Its first burial was in 1839. The cemetery followed a joint-stock model, funded by shareholders. It was laid out as an Arcadian landscape with buildings by Charles Underwood. Most of its area is listed, Grade II*, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.

Arnos Vale cemetery is on the A4 road from Bristol to Bath, southeast of the city centre towards Brislington, about 1 mile (1.6 km) from Temple Meads railway station and about 2 miles (3.2 km) from Bristol bus station

The cemetery has a number of listed buildings and monuments, including the Grade II* listed Church of England mortuary chapel, Nonconformist mortuary chapel, entrance lodges and gates and the screen walls to main entrance.

The cemetery was designed by Charles Underwood in the style of a Greek Necropolis. Within a few years of its opening in 1837 it became the most fashionable place to be buried in Bristol.

During the 20th century the cemetery fell into disrepair, and local groups began campaigning for its restoration. In 1987 the owner disclosed plans to exhume the bodies and develop the site for housing. Early in the 21st century, following a public campaign, the site was subject to a compulsory purchase order by Bristol City Council.

In 2003 it was featured on the BBC programme Restoration. The cemetery was a South West region runner-up and has since received a £4.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant. The cemetery is undergoing restoration, however the Mortuary Chapel, Entrance Lodges and Gates and Nonconformist Mortuary Chapel remain on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register.

The Scottish Solicitor and inventor Mungo Ponton was born on November 20th 1801. 

Not heard of him? I have posted about him before, he was the only son of John Ponton, a farmer at Balgreen now part of Edinburgh not far from Murrayfield. 

After leaving school he was apprenticed to the solicitor James Balfour. He was later apprenticed to William Scott and G L Finlay. He himself was admitted to the Society of Writers to the Signet in 1825.

By 1829, Ponton was in partnership with Archibald W Goldie WS, in the firm of Goldie & Ponton.   In January 1838 Mungo Ponton became solicitor to National Bank of Scotland.

But it wasn’t for his work as a lawyer that makes Mungo worthy of a mention in my daily posts. 

By the mid-1840s he was in poor health. He was granted an extended leave of absence in summer 1845, but by winter he was still very unwell. The board granted him another leave of absence in June 1846 so that he could travel to Germany to take the waters. His health did not improve, and in September he wrote to the board from Coblenz, tendering his resignation from the bank.

Mungo Ponton became a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1834. In 1838 he was awarded a silver medal from the Society of Arts for Scotland, for his role in the development of the electrical telegraph. He is best-remembered today, however, for his contributions to photography.

In 1839 he announced his discovery of the light-sensitive qualities of sodium dichromate. These findings were vitally important to the development of photography, paving the way for nearly all the photomechanical processes that later came into standard use.

He continued to experiment with photographic chemistry. In 1845 he was awarded another silver medal from the Society of Arts for Scotland, this time for his development of a process for measuring hourly variations in the temperature of photographic paper. In the same year he also introduced a variation of the calotype process that worked with shorter exposure times.

Ponton never returned to good health after his illness in the mid-1840s. He moved to Bristol, where the climate was milder and thought to be more favourable to health. He gave up his legal and banking career, but maintained his interest in science, publishing numerous further papers on scientific and religious matters.

Mungo Ponton died at home at Clifton on 3rd August 1880. One source says he was buried in Edinburgh, another says  Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol, I’m not sure which to believe, however two of Ponton’s wives, are buried at Saint John Episcopal Graveyard at the West End of Princes, the second was in 1910, which makes me suspect he might have bought a plot there and may be there also.

Funeral procession of George Müller in Bristol

He cared for 10,024 orphans during his lifetime, and provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in British life.

1,500 of those orphans marched in the procession, and the crowd at Arnos Vale Cemetery was estimated at 10,000.

Fairies are real.

I went to Arnos Vale Cemetery to take photos of graves and I found fairy houses. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

I went to Arnos Vale Cemetery to take photos of graves and I found fairy houses.

These were shot on FujiFilm 400 but I shot it at 800. They’re definatley a lot more grainy than usual and I think I prefer to push Portra. I’m slowing discovering that I really don’t enjoy shooting with FujiFilm if it is not at box speed or expired. I suspect it is a processing workflow issue but scanning them and…

Where's this cemetery where you can buy mead? I've seen you mention if before and I bloody love mead so I'd be interested in heading over there.

arnos vale cemetery!! it’s beautiful, and almost rurally peaceful despite its central location :) it fell into disrepair in the early twentieth century long before restoration work began, so there’s a curious mix of overgrown, ornate victorian graves alongside more recent ones. there’s a natural burial section, too…. i won’t ramble, but it’s really a fascinating place. they sell mead in the gift shop by the gates

#answered #thank you!! it’s a fascinating place— plenty of walking too it truly feels wild and thriving where some graveyards can feel….. well. dead #it’s mainly volunteer-managed it’s really wonderful— they must work so hard. they hosted a craft fair there a while back #and they host weddings i believe?

Arnos Vale Cemetery, in Brislington, UK. Opened in 1837, this Victorian-era garden cemetery had fallen into disrepair by the 1980s, but is now in the process of being restored. In true Victorian fashion, the cemetery was designed to be spacious and stylish and modelled after Père Lachaise Cemetery, in Paris. It’s 45 acres of peaceful woodland, set on a hill overlooking the area, including the River Avon; check it out, if you’re ever in South Gloucestershire or Bristol!
