Notes

  • Cremation as a formal, legal practice was introduced in the UK in 1885.
  • By 1968, the number of cremations in the UK surpassed burials for the first time
  • In the 1830s and 1850s, burial rates in North Petherton and the wider Sedgemoor district spiked primarily due to deadly cholera epidemics and rapid population growth.
  • Bridgwater Union Workhouse: During the 1850s, the Bridgwater Union Workhouse (which served the broader North Petherton/Bridgwater catchment) saw a high rate of pauper deaths due to disease and poor sanitation, contributing heavily to regional burial counts.
  • North Petherton’s population swelled during the early Victorian period. By the 1850s, St. Mary’s Church graveyard was deemed unsanitary and full, forcing the community to seek new burial solutions.
  • The Burial Acts: In response to these public health crises, the UK government passed national Burial Acts in 1852 and 1853. These acts facilitated the closure of heavily congested urban churchyards and mandated the creation of new municipal cemeteries, which resulted in the formal establishment of the North Petherton Cemetery to safely accommodate the growing death rate.
