People are being invited to find out more about Bath’s Jewish community at an open day being held at a burial ground in Combe Down next month.

Around 100 people from Bath’s 18th and 19th century Jewish community are thought to be buried at the site, which is surrounded by high stone walls.
A printed guide, which is also available online via a smartphone, provides information on the history of the community along with biographies for the people buried there.
The burial ground is located on Bradford Road by the roundabout entrance to Mulberry Park at 1 Greendown Place BA2 5DD. Bus no 2 from Bath Railway Station stops close by.
People will be able to visit on Sunday 7th July, between 11am to 4pm.
Free parking is available along Bradford Road, and wheelchairs can enter the burial ground using the steps via a ramp (though the ground is uneven once inside).
